THE HANDBOOK OF BODY-PSYCHOTHERAPY
Edited by Halko Weiss and Gustl Marlock
This amazing book is going to be the definitive book about Body-Psychotherapy at the turn of the 21st century. Several other books of Body-Psychotherapy have appeared recently, however this book is the epitome of the field; the embodiment of Body-Psychotherapy theory, knowledge and practice to date. The list of authors reads like Who’s Who, the contents are What’s What, in Body-Psychotherapy.
This is an international in-depth perspective on what is emerging as a major, significant and very exciting mainstream branch of the profession of psychotherapy. Body-Psychotherapy actually predates Freud; it is also the essential connection between psychotherapy and psychosomatics, neuroscience, psychophysiology, dance and movement therapies, and the whole wide range of body therapies.
This handbook, a work of major reference, will become a must for every student in Body-Psychotherapy, a standard text for Somatic Psychology courses, and an essential read for most practicing psychotherapists from whatever discipline or orientation.
It is being published initially in German by Hogrefe in Spring 2005, and is now being translated into English for publication hopefully in 2006. We invite you to examine here the contents and chapter titles (in English).
