The body, of both the patient and the analyst, is increasingly a
focus of attention in contemporary psychoanalytic theory and
practice, especially from a relational perspective. There is a
renewed regard for the understanding of embodied experience and
sexuality as essential to human vitality. However, most of the
existing literature has been written by analysts with no formal
training in body-centered work. In this book William Cornell draws
on his experience as a body-centered psychotherapist to offer an
informed blend of the two traditions, to allow psychoanalysts a
deep understanding, in psychoanalytic language, of how to work with
the body as an ally. The primary focus of Somatic Experience in
Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy situates systematic attention to
somatic experience and direct body-level intervention in the
practice of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy. It provides a close
reading of the work of Wilhelm Reich, repositioning his work within
a contemporary psychoanalytic frame and re-presents Winnicott's
work with a particular emphasis on the somatic foundations of his
theories. William Cornell includes vivid and detailed case
vignettes including accounts of his own bodily experience to fully
illustrate a range of somatic attention and intervention that
include verbal description of sensate experience, exploratory
movement and direct physical contact. Drawing on relevant theory
and significant clinical material, Somatic Experience in
Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy will allow psychoanalysts an
understanding of how to work with the body in their clinical
practice. It will bring a fresh perspective on psychoanalytic
thinking to body-centred psychotherapy where somatic experience is
seen as an ally to psychic and interpersonal growth. This book will
be essential reading for psychoanalysts, psychodynamically oriented
psychotherapists, transactional analysts, body-centred
psychotherapists, Gestalt therapists, counsellors and students.
William Cornell maintains an independent private practice of
psychotherapy and consultation in Pittsburgh, PA. He has devoted 40
years to the study and integration of psychoanalysis, neo-Reichian
body therapy and transactional analysis. He is a Training and
Supervising Transactional Analyst and has established an
international reputation for his teaching and consultation.
