The best that most boards achieve, often through share option schemes, is to align the self-interest of individual directors with the interests of shareholders. When therapists know how reach patterns emerge and become part of an infant s movement repertoire, they have a broad-based background from which to observe and understand their adult clients. Each pattern integrates into the developing nervous system and becomes the foundation for the child s, adolescent s, adult s behaviors. The formation of sucking patterns in health and dysfunction and their relationship to adult experience is examined in detail. In health, when the object of interest is perceived as safe, inviting, and within reach, the movement pattern emerges as uninhibited and smooth.

The person opens her body, increases her receptivity, and extends toward the other with certainty. In the process of reaching, she feels her eyes, mouth, arms, hands as being mine an integral part of herself. As she senses her body, whatever she grasps becomes part of experience. Including the other encourages her belonging in the world. When the object of interest is perceived as unwanted and uninviting, the healthy person pulls away with similar conviction and clarity.
