Doman Therapy originated in the 1960s, and is still running in the US through The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential. I looked Doman G up on Pubmed, and was also surprised at the lack of articles published by him. There are are a few from 2004-5 but largely theoretical, and there is one from 1960. There are other papers that mention Doman but largely as an alternative therapy.
One criticism i have found of Doman, is that to follow it completely and thus get 'optimal' results, it requires many hours every day for an extended period. I don't know how practical this is, and if you don't do it properly, are you to blame for your child not reaching potential? I do like his theories though!
I will look into Bobath. I haven't heard of that, but googling it, it sounds similar to Doman. There were also parents who had tried both. Is this practised in Australia? Victoria?
