Purpose and scope
purpose and scope The journal is intended to offer a publication outlet for written articles that are longer and more in-depth than what is typically offered in, for example, Norway's Rosen Magasinet, Sweden's Rosenbladet, North America's RMPA Views, and in other Rosen Method newsletters. The journal is meant to supplement but not to replace these newsletters, which provide a valuable service to the Rosen Method community. In addition to an editorial statement and commentary , each issue will contain 8-10 articles on topics may include but are not limited to the following:
  1. In-depth discussions of any aspect of Rosen Method theory and/or practice such as defining Rosen Method, comparisons with other non-Rosen approaches such as somatic psychotherapy, Feldenkrais, dance therapy, etc.

  2. Practice topics such as the usefulness of incorporating other modalities, departures from standard practice, offshoots of Rosen Method and why they are different, gender-based issues, working with particular populations such as child abuse, work stress, cancer and other chronic illness, patterns of change over a session or movement class, etc.

  3. Reviews of scientific findings - such as in neuroscience, psychology, or medicine -- that shed light on Rosen Method

  4. Reports of original research on Rosen Method

  5. Case reports that provide substantial documentation about what works or does not work in client and practitioner interaction and changes over time (For details, see Fogel, A. (2007). Documenting cases as a participant observer: A manual for somatic awareness practitioners. International Feldenkrais Federation Academic Feldenkrais Research Journal, 3. www.iffresearchjournal.org)

  6. Case reports with substantial documentation of the author's own developmental change process through Rosen Method.

  7. Discussions of what works or does not work in teaching methods for training bodywork practitioners and teachers, and movement teachers, as well as novel teaching methods

  8. Historical essays about the foundation of Rosen Method, about particular key figures, about the founding of schools or practices, and/or about how Rosen Method has changed over the years.

  9. Book reviews and commentaries on resources potentially related to Rosen Method
