MILTON TRAGER, M.D. is the originator of Psychophysical
integration, also called the Trager Approach, and
Mentastics, wich together constitute a unique form of
"movement reeducation" that is practiced
internationally. He received his medical degree in 1955
as the first American student to graduate from the
University of Autonoma in Guadalajara, Mexico. He
maintained a private practice in General Medicine in
Waikiki, Hawaii for nineteen years. In 1977 he closed his
practice in order to devote the rest of his life to
teaching students and teachers in the Trager Approach and
Mentastics. For over fifty years Dr. Trager has been
developing his approach, working through the body to
create greater well-being in others and to enhance the
response and intimate relationship between body and mind.
He is aided by the work of the Trager Institute in Mill
Valley, California.
He died in 1997 at the age of 88.
CATHY HAMMOND, Ph.D., holds degrees in Health and

Clinical Psychology. She has been studying with Dr.
Trager since 1979, and is one of a small number of
certified instructors who teach the Trager Approach and
Mentastics internationally. She also maintains a private
practice in San Diego, California in individual and group
psychotherapy and biofeedback specializing in stress and
pain disorders.

Reader Review
A reader , 27 March, 1997
great insight into one of alternative medicine's
heroes
this biography helped give me an insight into the field
of alternative medicine, why people are so eager to go to
alternative practitioners, and what non-conventional
practitioners have to offer that is valuable. milton
trager was one of a kind and defines not only what a
healer is but also shows the healing capacities within
each of us. well written and timely, as dr. trager just
died this year at the age of 88.
