Authentic movement and supervision
Abstract
This paper explores the ways in which the discipline of Authentic Movement (Pallaro 1999) might be used as an avenue for developing the ‘wise inner teacher/higher self’ (Rowan 1993) or the ‘internal supervisor’ (Casement 1985 and 1990). In the process of practising authentic movement there is an experience of being both a ‘mover ‘and a ‘witness’. The author is proposing the witness may be similar to the benign ‘observing other’ of the individuated internal supervisor.
