Abstract
ABSTRACT This article presents a developmental and somatic approach to the process of contacting and posits how a fuller understanding of movement progressions illuminates that one exists only in relation to the other. Six Fundamental Movements, described in the infant–parent relationship as primary motor-affective supports for contact making, provide a phenomenological language for subverbal interactions throughout life. A family case vignette of mother and son demonstrates the way in which the integration of these six movements as diagnosis and treatment enables the practitioner to make a discovery: how early historic kinetic-kinesthetic relational themes constitute and are constituted by the present, and can be felt and seen through movement.
