Shortly after the emergence of therapeutic eurythmy in 1921, Rudolf Steiner entrusted the care and training of this discipline to the physician Margarete Kirchner-Bockholt. She had studied eurythmy herself and has since tirelessly worked on the theoretical and practical development of therapeutic eurythmy. This book serves as the central foundational work on therapeutic eurythmy, summarizing what was developed as teaching material in many training courses up until the 1960s. Michaela Glöckler writes in her preface: "This work is now in its 5th edition. It is so fundamental and timelessly authentic that it is being reprinted unchanged, only supplemented by the extraordinarily expressive biography of Bockholt.".
