Product Description
Review
For everyone with a body, not just the professionals! Edmundson and Totton give a vivd account of an approach which is both compassionate and effective. Body psychotherapy lies at the conjuction of most of the main themes of contemporary psychotherapy: the key role of relationship in the psyche, enhanced understandings stemming from neuroscience and physiology, the need for as much non-regulated practitioner automony and freedom to dare as is consistent with responsible practice, and the realisation of how little of what we do is natural and how much irradiated by the culture in which we live. Maybe capitalism's latest crisis will force people to re-read Reich as the relevant theorist of alternative ways to organise our world. If that thought interests you, start here … --Andrew Samuels, Professor of Analytical Psychology, University of Essex
Product Description
A revised and updated new edition of a body psychotherapy classic, 'Reichian Growth Work' sets out to convey the essential features of Reichian therapy in concrete and easily understandable language. The style of body therapy which it describes is democratic, growth-oriented and undogmatic, while still committed to Reich's radical description of human beings and their difficulties. 'This book is for people who want to change; because only by changing, profoundly painful as that sometimes is, can we stay alive and growing.'

Format:Paperback
This is totally accessable, fascinating and stimulating. I totally enjoyed the experience of reading it, and gained new insights. As a committed Jungian, even I was able to see Freud translated into something personally valuable. I've ordered a three other books by Nick Totton, as his stkle is so readable, and the subject matter is fascinating.
