Alan Fogel

Alan Fogel is a Professor of Psychology Emeritus at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. He is the recipient of numerous teaching and research awards, a fellow of the American Psychological Association, and has been a Fulbright Fellow. He was an active contributor to research on social and emotional development in early childhood for over 40 years. Because of his earlier interest in how infants develop in a socio-sensory-emotional world, Fogel's clinical practice is not psychotherapy but rather Rosen Method Bodywork (www.roseninstitute.net). This is a treatment modality for adults combining touch and responsive talk with the goal of enhancing client embodied self-awareness. On the basis of his experience working with clients and Rosen Method trainees, research work, and scholarly investigations, Fogel's recent books, Body Sense and Restorative Embodiment and Resilience, create a scientifically informed view of how our ability (or lack of it) to connect with our own bodies is regulated via our nervous system and interactions with significant others. Alan has private Rosen Method Bodywork and online Embodied Self-Awareness consulting practices, and regularly teaches workshops and trainings in Rosen Method and on the theme Embodied Self-Awareness.
