New Dimensions in Body Psychotherapy by Nick Totton

There is currently an explosion of interest in the field of body psychotherapy. This is feeding back into psychotherapy and counselling in general, with many practitioners and trainees becoming interested in the role of the body in holding and releasing traumatic patterns.

  • Neuroscientific contributions
  • Embodied countertransference
  • Movement patterns and infant development
  • Freudian and Jungian approaches
  • Continuum Movement
  • Embodied-Relational Therapy
  • Process Work
  • Body-Mind Centering (R)

New Dimensions in Body Psychotherapy is an essential contribution to the 'turn to the body' in modern psychotherapy.
