Psychotherapists who have been trained in models of psychodynamic,
psychoanalytic, or cognitive therapeutic approaches are skilled at
listening to the language and affect of the client. They track the
clients' associations, fantasies, and signs of psychic conflict,
distress, and defenses. Yet while the majority of therapists are
trained to notice the appearance and even the movements of the
client's body, thoughtful engagement with the client's embodied
experience has remained peripheral to traditional therapeutic
interventions. Trauma and the Body is a detailed review of research
in neuroscience, trauma, dissociation, and attachment theory that
points to the need for an integrative mind-body approach to trauma.
The premise of this book is that, by adding body-oriented
interventions to their repertoire, traditionally trained therapists
can increase the depth and efficacy of their clinical work.
Sensorimotor psychotherapy is an approach that builds on
traditional psychotherapeutic understanding but includes the body
as central in the therapeutic field of awareness, using
observational skills, theories, and interventions not usually
practiced in psychodynamic psychotherapy. By synthesizing bottom-up
and top down interventions, the authors combine the best of both
worlds to help chronically traumatized clients find resolution and
meaning in their lives and develop a new, somatically integrated
sense of self. Topics addressed include: Cognitive, emotional, and
sensorimotor dimensions of information processing * modulating
arousal * dyadic regulation and the body * the orienting response *
defensive subsystems * adaptation and action systems * treatment
principles * skills for working with the body in present time *
developing somatic resources for stabilization * processing
