By integrating principles from her background as a movement
psychotherapist and movement analyst with key concepts from
contemporary psychoanalysis, the author offers a new perspective on
exploring the interrelationships between nonverbal and verbal
"articulation" in any therapy setting. The author starts by
presenting theory from both disciplines, showing how the two
perspectives can be "embodied" within a mutually supportive
framework. She then applies a synthesis of movement analysis and
psychoanalysis to several vivid psychoanalytic observational
studies of infants and young children, with an in-depth focus on
preverbal/nonverbal communication via the language of movement. The
author then describes her clinical work with three adults,
illustrating how the kinds of primitive psychophysical patterns
highlighted in the observational studies are seen to underlie
current issues her patients face in movement psychotherapy.The book
aims to provide a practical and experiential working model for
developing therapists' "embodied attentiveness," which will enhance
their recognition of the sensori-affective manifestations of
transference and counter-transference. It will inform the work of
psychotherapists and psychoanalysts, dance movement therapists, and
body psychotherapists, as well as those involved in psychoanalytic
observational studies. It will also be of interest to anyone
interested in exploring the interrelationships between the psyche
and the body.
