Review Quotes: This book is well-written and well-documented...There is much to gain from reading this book, regardless of one's therapeutic orientation. Readers have the opportunity to understand how PVT provides a theoretical basis for a neuroscience of safety, which promotes spontaneous social engagement behaviors and creativity and optimizes health, growth, and restoration.--Nancy Eichorn "Body, Movement and Dance in Psychotherapy: An International Journal for Theory, Research and Practice"
