Thank you for your comment on my edit to the Psychotherapy entry. This is my first edit so forgive me if I don't get things quite right here. I have posted my reply on the talk page you created for me and will post it here as well as my understanding from looking at Wiki documentation is that it does not automatically contact yourself.

The relevant citation in terms of F.M. Alexander statement is Alexander,F.M. (1996) Man's Supreme Inheritance, Conscious Guidance and Control in Relation to Civilization London: Mouritz p145 There Alexander in reference to his own work writes 'that this practical and now means visionary or untried psycho-therapy will in time supersede the tentative and restricted methods of somato-therapy,...'. This sums up Alexander's wider distinction of his work from somato-therapy and his wider claim and argument for the necessity of the development of Constructive Conscious Control of the Individual, which is the aim and end of applying the Alexander Technique. Detailed arguments for this can be found in all of his four books but in particular his second book: F.M. Alexander (1997) Constructive Conscious Control of the Individual, London: STAT Books. If you read the book you will find in detail Alexander's argument that we are psycho-physical beings and that because of changes in the way human beings now live, we are in need of re-education to raise our standards of functioning and move towards the plane of Constructive Conscious Control. John Dewey pxxx of Man's Supreme Inheritance writes of Alexander's method as 'a completed 'psycho-analysis'. Man's Supreme Inheritance was Alexander's first book and the first edition was published in 1910,the Dewey comment was in a letter he published in 1918 and that was included in later editions. Both demonstrate how Alexander originally placed and saw his work as a psycho-therapy, which it is if you understand the etymology of psyche in terms of breath, and his emphasis on the need for re-education of breathing. The edit though did not seek to add Alexander Technique to the list of psychotherapies only to remove it from the list of bodywork which it definitely is not. As far as I know, there is not textual evidence for classifying Alexander Technique as a bodywork either from within Alexander's writings or from the teacher's who he trained to succeed him. I would be interested if you could cite support for the claim that it is bodywork, that is consistent with what Alexander actually wrote and taught. To maintain that Alexander Technique is bodywork is simply factually wrong. Casebow (talk) 08:30, 28 July 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Casebow (talkcontribs)


Hello, my apologies if I'm writing using the incorrect format on your talk page. I'm very new to editing Wikipedia, and my efforts to educate myself on how to do this properly are thus far woefully inadequate. I'm hoping to improve on that as rapidly as possible.

I'm writing to thank you for reverting a change I made to the article on the Honda Accord; it was done for purely frivolous reasons and I did so with the understanding that it would be changed back. I was also interested in testing how that works in this system. I hope that it wasn't too annoying for an experienced editor such as yourself, and that I can learn how to be a productive and helpful member of the Wikipedia community. This may sound strange, but I greatly enjoy editing for the sake of linguistic improvement, and I find this medium highly satisfying. My great regret is how steep the learning curve seems to be. I appreciate your help.

At the risk of being overlong and/or boring, in reading your Talk page I found the discussion and comments on the Alexander technique interesting. It strikes me that I've heard it mentioned in the context of effective psychotherapies, during my education as a speech-language pathologist. I'm going to read up on it in Wikipedia and elsewhere to see if I can put myself or the technique to any use, in a humanitarian sense.

My name is Nicole, and I'm please to meet you, virtually. Thank you for reading this.

RE Montenegrin language.

It is not false information, please to not attempt to edit subjects you are not knowledgeable in.
