Erratum

In the January 2008 issue of Statnews an article was published about the activities of Friends of the Alexander Technique, Denmark. The article mentioned the training course which ran for some years in Aalborg. This section contained some errors in regard to the roles of some of the people involved.


We apologise for this inaccuracy; the facts should have been checked more thoroughly before submitting the article for publication.
