Biodynamic psychotherapy is an integrative body-psychotherapy. Its worldview indicates the orientation and the core values shared with the Humanistic and Integrative psychology, that humans have within themselves an essential centre that 'knows' and that the Biodynamic psychotherapist supports the clients to contact with their own essential core. It has its roots in humanistic philosophies and aims to work with a full range of influences to encourage the development of the individual, their relationship to others and to society. This book contains papers from the speakers at the 2nd Biodynamic Conference, London 2014. The Centre for Biodynamic Psychotherapy (CBP) provides full professional training in Biodynamic Psychotherapy in the London School for Biodynamic Psychotherapy (LSBP), leading to the Diploma in Biodynamic Psychotherapy, recognised by the UKCP.

Evidence relating to the 'real world' of antiquity - inscriptions, historiography and legal speeches - has dominated studies of ancient Greek and Roman slavery, although providing few direct accounts by slaves of their subjective experiences. Yet the imaginative fictions produced by the ancient psyche in its literature and art provide many representations and discussions of what it felt like to be a slave. This volume provides a sustained discussion of the theory and practice of handling ancient poetry and images in order to enhance our understanding of the way that slavery was experienced by both slaves and their owners in the ancient world. Twelve essays by an international team of specialists develop a variety of theoretical positions, reading practices and interpretive strategies for recovering the psychological, emotional and social impact of ancient slavery from Homer, Aristotle, Greek drama, visual images, Roman poetry and imperial Roman dream interpretation.
