I have been generating the layout of the Journal since 2003, but this is my first issue as editor. It is a role that I take on with some trepidation, especially as I am the first to do so who is not a body psychotherapist. It is my hope that I can continue to encourage the quantity and quality of psychotherapeutically relevant articles that have always appeared in the Journal – but also to coax contributions about biodynamic massage from across the membership, including those who are students or only recently qualified. To this end, I have introduced a new feature (p14) where we can share about specific aspects of biodynamic massage. Several people have kindly started this off by writing about a memorable experience as recipient; I find the variety of descriptions fascinating! I am also keen to interview individual practitioners to find out about their practice – what inspires them; what challenges them; which key moments or insights they would like to share. If you’d like to suggest someone for this (either yourself or someone else!) please get in touch. Our major features in this issue come from presenters at AHBMT meetings. Peter Mackereth has co-written an article about working in cancer care (p5) as a follow up to his illuminating talk at the AGM meeting last year, and Kathrin Stauffer, who spoke recently at the Spring Meeting, offers a description of the parallels between physical food and psychological food (p12) – a discussion which evolved during the talk she gave at the launch of her new book last year. A couple of events during the last six months have inspired me to write about two things dear to my heart. The death of Ron Kurtz (founder of Hakomi) in January was a big loss; I hope I have conveyed a little of his magic in my writing (p10). I have also reviewed “In an Unspoken Voice”, Peter Levine’s new book (p17). My frequent trips to the San Francisco Bay Area to participate in a three year training in Somatic Experiencing, his approach to working with traumatised individuals, explain why the timing of journals has been less consistent of late.
