Description
This discussion will revolve around Ulfried's book Body Psychotherapy.
This book introduces body psychotherapy as one of the essential approaches in psychotherapy, reflecting the increasing integration of the body into clinical mental health practice.
The book offers an entirely new view on body psychotherapy based upon advanced research on embodiment, memory, emotion regulation, developmental psychology and body communication and an experiential and relational understanding of psychotherapy.
Accordingly, the author grounds the theory of body psychotherapy on the theoretical approach of enactivism, which regards experience as arising from meaningful living interaction with others and their environment.
The book, fortified with clinical examples, shows the distinctiveness of body psychotherapy as compared with a traditional talking therapy approach. It also convincingly demonstrates that each form of psychotherapy should consider body experiences.
This text will be a comprehensive foundation for psychotherapists of every orientation, scholars of the humanities and students and especially those wishing to integrate embodied experience into their understanding of their patients.

Reviews
“With clear and incisive analysis Geuter convincingly argues why the subjective body must be included in all psychotherapy modalities.”
Jeff Barlow, Somatic Psychotherapist, supervisor and trainer; founding director, Australian College of Contemporary Somatic Psychotherapy

Barnaby B. Barratt, PhD, DHS, Director of doctoral studies in Bodymind Healing at the Parkmore Institute, Parkmore (Johannesburg), South Africa
“This is an excellent book which transcends but values the differences between schools and is a masterly foundation for body psychotherapy as a mainstream of psychotherapy!”
David Boadella, PhD (Hon), Founder of Biosynthesis; founding president and honorary member of the European Association for Body Psychotherapy (t)
“Geuter's work combines masterful reviews of the field's history, development, and current trends, as well as contributions from philosophy, neuroscience, and classic psychological theory and practice, while at the same time deftly weaving in his own integrative perspective!”
Christine Caldwell, PhD, Professor Emeritus, Naropa University Somatic Counseling Program, Boulder, USA

George Downing, PhD, former Clinical Faculty, Salpettiere Hospital and University of Paris VIlI, France
“Geuter takes the reader well beyond the fraught history of this field and into a new synthesis that places the experiencing human subject in the relational, present moment encounter with the therapist who guides the client into a deeper felt experience of their own embodied self.”
Alan Fogel, PhD, Professor Emeritus of Psychology, University of Utah, USA
“Skillful therapy vignettes illustrate how working with body processes can immediately elucidate psychological dilemmas.”
