Speaking of Bodies Summary

Speaking of Bodies: Embodied Therapeutic Dialogues by Liron Lipkies

While the body has received significant attention in psychoanalysis and psychotherapy in the last couple of decades, this still focused primarily on the body of pathology - the body as speaking for (or on behalf of) the mind. Here, leading psychoanalysts and psychotherapists join with experts whose field is the body to examine and celebrate generative, creative, vital, and irreducible aspects of our embodiment. The book is divided into seven themes, each including a chapter by a therapist and another by a specialist pondering various aspects of the body. Fashion journalists speak with a relational psychotherapist about beauty, a chef discusses sensuality with a couple therapist, and a Rabbi and a psychoanalyst speak of divinity and the body. This is a book aimed at igniting our imagination and faith in the possibility of living a full embodied life, and of integrating such practices within therapeutic and psychoanalytic work.

Speaking of Bodies Reviews

'The editors of this book have created what I hope will be only the first in a series of works exploring the embodiment of life, and the life of embodiment, in psychotherapy and everyday life. Bringing together psychotherapists, psychoanalysts, and creative people in multiple fields, they have invited them to explore multitudinous aspects of embodiment as healing and healer. The work as a whole, as well as each chapter and section, has a vitality and rhythm that propel the reader into the immediacy of visceral experience. Among the plethora of books suddenly lining my shelves acknowledging the psychology of the body, this book stands out not only for its erudition, but also for the creativity of its approach and organisation.'- Jacqueline A.
