Body Awareness as Healing Therapy: The Case of Nora is Moshe
Feldenkrais' classic study of his work with Nora, a woman who has
suffered a severe stroke and lost her neuromuscular coordination,
including the ability to read and write. Feldenkrais uses rational and
intuitive approaches to help his student relearn basic motor skills. One
can observe here the groundwork of Feldenkrais' extraordinary insights
which became known as the Feldenkrais Method. We follow his detailed
descriptions of the trial and error process which led him to see the
ingredients that were needed to help Nora reshape her attention,
perception, imagination and cognition.
