Praise for the book . . .
“This book is fantastic. It is quite clear for the layperson and fascinating reading for the therapist. After working with this process, my back is feeling tremendous, the best I ever recall. When I feel some twinges, it is a reminder for me to check in with my ‘little one.’ This process creates a wonderful atmosphere of healing presence. It is powerful work.” 
- Kathy J. Keers, C.M.T., Media, Pennsylvania

“I really enjoyed The Self Behind the Symptom. It is beautifully written with an exceptional flare for language and prose. The title is particularly apt, conveying the essential connection between the inner family of selves and their bodily expression through illness. Even within the context of this work, Judith Hendin breaks considerable new ground. This is a book that should be read by all health professionals as well as those seeking insight and resolution of their own particular symptoms, whether physical or psychological.”
- Robin Gale-Baker, Somatic Psychotherapist, Melbourne, Australia

“I enjoyed this book, and it makes so much sense to me. Judith Hendin enters the inner world of the mind-body connection in a way I had never thought about before—the voice behind the symptom. Her book describes an intriguing concept that is followed by a clearly written ‘how to’ for accessing personal growth and healing.”
- Linda K. Seeman, Ph.D., Richmond, Virginia

“Le livre de Judith Hendin est un vrai plaisir de lecture. Il permet de comprendre en profondeur la démarche du Dialogue Intérieur en l'appliquant à la relation fondamentale corps-esprit. À travers l'ouvrage transparaissent constamment les qualités de Judith: une pensée claire, une vaste expérience de la relation thérapeutique et un grand amour de celles et ceux avec qui elle travaille.”

“Judith Hendin's book is a pleasure to read. It allows us to understand the Voice Dialogue approach in depth by applying it to the fundamental relationship between body and psyche. Judith's qualities show up through her work: clarity of thought, profound experience of the therapeutic relationship, and an amazing love for the people she works with.”
