Body Psychotherapy or Walkers Pocket Companion

Body Psychotherapy

Author: Tree Staunton

In the past the practice of body psychotherapy has been taken less seriously in professional circles than more traditional psychotherapeutic approaches. Body Psychotherapy evens out the balance, offering insights into a spectrum of approaches within body-oriented psychotherapy. A range of experienced contributors introduce new areas of development and emerging theory and clinical material, covering: the history of body psychotherapy; theoretical perspectives on body psychotherapy, including post-Reichian and development of integrative methodologies; body psychotherapy in practice, including applications for trauma and regression; the future for body psychotherapy.

This book shows how body psychotherapy can be healing, reparative and rewarding. It will make for essential reading for postgraduates and professionals, whether they are already involved in this field, or wish to learn more about incorporating it into their own practice.

This attractive, handy pocket book is bursting with great ideas for anyone who’s ever laced a sturdy boot, packed a cheese sandwich, and put one foot in front of the other in search of stimulation, observation, and contemplation. What would you do if you were charged by an elephant? How do you pack a rucksack? Which soap characters should never have gone out for a walk? And, importantly, how do you ramble for sex? This book answers all these questions and hundreds more.
