What They're Saying
Critics Review
“I’ve never seen such a powerful and complete method for transformation. Danis Bois encompasses body and soul in a way yet unknown in North America. When you read Danis Bois’s book, you know that you’re entering a new region of your lived experience. This book is about you.”
—Pierre Paillé, PhD
“Although somewhat skeptical about alternative treatments, in general, I have had personal experience with this method and have found it to be quite powerful. It is very effective in fostering the development of inner awareness and has great therapeutic potential in this regard. Demonstrating the validity of alternative therapies presents a difficult challenge with respect to creating an appropriate experimental design. Danis Bois and his colleagues are to be commended for their efforts in exploring a scientific understanding of this phenomenon through their work at the Modern University of Lisbon.”
—Neil Sonenklar, MD

In 2003, he became Visiting Professor at the Modern University in Lisbon, where he created a post-graduate program in somatic-psychoeducation and a Master’s Degree program in perceptual psychoeducation. He was appointed Director of the Centre for Applied Research and Study in Perceptual Psychoeducation (CERAP) at the Modern University in 2004. In November 2005, he completed a doctoral program in Education Sciences at the University of Seville. He is the author of several books and articles.
