Abstract
The present study reports treatment of a 15-year-old male with a head injury caused by a traffic accident; the Dohsa method was used for 6 days in a psycho-rehabilitation camp. The youth had motor and sensory disorders, as well as strong impulsive behavior toward others. After a gravity-control task had been used when he was in standing and kneeling positions, he was able to regain his sense of control of his own body. He became able to move his back smoothly and to stabilize his standing posture. After this, he made progress, concentrating on the tasks, and his impulsive behavior gradually decreased. It appeared that his attention to his body contributed to his awareness of his impulses.
