Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Union Institute, 1999.

To explore the relevance of somatic practices to conflict resolution, a somatics curriculum was designed and taught to thirty-eight participants over a year. The field of somatics has emerged from the mind/body/spirit practices of alternative healing, bodywork, psychotherapy, and medicine. The curriculum was tested and redesigned by using it with seven exploratory classes in three formats: one full day workshop, four weekly sessions of two and a half hours, or fourteen sessions of two hours over a year. The fundamental elements of the final curriculum were: a body scan, recognition of the influence of different breaths and physical sensations with different emotional and mental states, and the awareness of physical sensations in response to the emotional states of other people. These basic perceptions were supplemented with enhanced capacity for listening from the throat, alignment, and centering. All these abilities strengthened the somatic capacity for mutual and equal attention to oneself and another. Although many somatic methods were explored, participants in the study had greater retention of the exercises that enhanced their recognition of sensations in their body in different situations and with different people.

520 $a To explore the relevance of somatic practices to conflict resolution, a somatics curriculum was designed and taught to thirty-eight participants over a year.

520 $a One year after the training, the participants were interviewed and the interviews analyzed using grounded theory. The results gave examples of how participants had used somatic sensibility in conflict, and indicated that participants had an enhanced sense of awareness, connection to others, enjoyment, and security after a short introduction to somatic practices. From these findings, a theoretical model was developed to illustrate the interplay between social constructs, personal history, and somatic awareness. Suggestions were made for the use of the curriculum and the model in further research in the field of conflict resolution and violence prevention programs.
