ABSTRACT
In the late days of Christmas in 1990, Tom Andersen wrote a letter to the author. He had read her written exam in Norwegian psychomotor physiotherapy. He liked the way she had written about the treatment of a patient—first describing what they did and what happened, and then afterwards trying to understand. He wrote, they lived far apart, over the whole of Norway. The distance between them was like that of Oslo to Rome. They met in Harstad, in the north of Norway, several times. The first occasion was in September 1994. There they talked about each others’ writing. They had a tape recorder on the table and changed tapes when they changed subject from the work of one to another. They also had telephone meetings. They worked for three years, and in 1997 the book Bevegelse, liv og forandring was published.
