Pesso Boyden System Psychomotor (PBSP)
Albert Pesso and Diane Boyden-Pesso developed PBSP after spending years observing
how human emotions were expressed in body action and speech in their endeavor to understand not
only how emotional feelings become outward behavior, but also to learn how to manage and control
the impact that emotional expression had on those toward whom it was directed and those who were
witness to it. From those beginnings, a large body of movement sensitization techniques, theories
of human interaction and a complex process of emotional re-education evolved. PBSP is now a fully
developed unified theory that has at its foundation a vision of what it means to be human - biologically,
psychologically, sociologically, philosophically, and spiritually.
Since 1973 thousands of therapists have received training internationally, and currently there are
17 PBSP certification training programs now taking place in 10 countries. In Holland, one of the first
European countries to recognize the value of PBSP, there are 80 PBSP client groups and the number of
clients in treatment with PBSP now exceeds that of clients in psychoanalytic treatment.
PBSP is a highly effective and safe therapeutic process for discovery and satisfaction of emotional
needs and hindrances from the past. This technique yields freedom from one's history and opens
vistas of personal growth, contentment, and productivity.
