Traditional psychotherapy approaches, focusing on working with and
correcting mental events and conditions, have placed little
importance on the fundamentally physical nature of the person. Yet
many of the problems people bring to therapy are linked with or
manifested in the body--such as obesity, psychosomatic distress,
chronic tension, and sexual problems. This book provides a
therapeutic approach that addresses both the physical and mental
nature of clients. In this book, James Kepner shows that a client's
posture, movements, and bodily experiences are indeed relevant to
therapy, and he offers an insightful framework for incorporating
these aspects into a therapeutic framework. This comprehensive
treatment explains how body work can be integrated with the aims,
methods, and philosophy of psychotherapy, offering a framework
within which practitioners of different theoretical approaches can
better appreciate body processes in the context of the whole
person, rather than as isolated events. This book, including an
updated introduction by the author, explores the range of body work
in psychotherapy, from the development of body awareness to
intensive work with physical structure and expression. And it
demonstrates how this approach can be particularly effective with a
range of clients, including survivors of sexual abuse, recovering
drug addicts or alcoholics, or those suffering from chronic
illness.
