People who have been processed, processors, and a rapidly growing group of professionals from the various sciences of mind and body which comprise the study of the whole man are seeking a rational understanding of the results of Structural Integration and the principles according to which they are achieved.Dr. Ida Rolf and I are presently writing a book to set forth the ideas underlying Structural Integration in general and each of the ten hours in particular. As the chapters of this book take shape we will be publishing them in the Bulletin for your criticism and comment.It would be most helpful for us to know which portions of the manuscript you find clear, which obscure. Of particular interest are your reactions to the examples and illustrations.Laurence Davis, Editor
