History of Proprioceptive Writing

The Founder of Proprioceptive Writing, Linda Trichter Metcalf, Ph.D. originated the practice while teaching at Pratt University in New York City during the mid seventies. For the past 40 years she has taught the practice along with her partner, Tobin Simon, Ph.D. in Portland, Maine, New York City and now Oakland, California. Together they are the authors of Writing the Mind Alive, The Proprioceptive Method for Finding your Authentic Voice, (Ballantine 2002). See their website at www.pwriting.org for more information and to order the book.
