	Individual Body Psychotherapy
		Body psychotherapy focusses on the psyche through its expression in the body to enhance awareness on all levels of being.
		Body psychotherapy is derived from the work of Wilhelm Reich, and the influences of Eastern philosophy in the 1960s.
		In body psychotherapy the psychotherapist works with the client to discover the meaning of unskilful patterns of behaviour, how it is that relationships are maintained, which are not satisfying and the meaning of the messages that the body is communicating.

	Psychotherapy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Psychotherapy is aimed at these problems, and attempts to solve — or help people themselves to solve — them via a number of different approaches and techniques.
		Given that psychotherapy is restricted to conversations, practitioners do not have to be medically qualified, but to guarantee the medical safety of psychotherapy, a basic acquaintance with psychiatric and psychological considerations is typically a part of their training.
		Psychotherapy outcome research -in which the effectiveness of psychotherapy is measured by questionnaires given to patients before, during, and after treatment- has had difficulty distinguishing between the different types of therapy.

	Thinking through the body
		Body psychotherapy as a tradition has always drawn on the insights of scientific research about the body and the brain.
		It therefore provides a useful bridge between psychotherapy and contemporary developments in neuroscience because the implications of working with an embodied process (and essentially neuroscience is pointing increasingly to the holistic embodied nature of all psychological phenomena) have always been at its theoretical and practical core.
		This was evident in a more thorough critique of Reich, and interest in object relations; a move from idealisation of the body (and its wisdom) to appreciation of complexity, splitting and holding as bodily phenomena; an increasing interest in the manifestation of transference and countertransference in the body.

	Radix Institute Article by John May, Ph.D.
		There was even a study that found that a brief body psychotherapy experience made the subjects more able to benefit from their regular verbal psychotherapy.
		We can't really say that body psychotherapy has all of those effects, or that it is beneficial for all of the different types of people mentioned.
		There is some research to indicate that even people who feel they benefited greatly from their body psychotherapy, and who were very satisfied with it, didn't feel that it helped them change specific behaviors or habits (such as over-eating or smoking).

	Body-Mind Mental Health Therapies: A Guide to Treatment
		Pat Ogden was a student of several body therapies and an apprentice to Ron Kurtz in the 1970s, when she decided she wanted to form a synthesis between body therapy and psychology, specifically the Hakomi Method she was studying.
		The body’s sensations and cues are constantly referred to throughout the sessions, and establishing safety and respect is considered the first priority in the client-therapist relationship.
		Integrative Body Psychotherapy (IBP) is an in-depth psychology based on the view that life is most fundamentally a somatic experience (somatic meaning “of the body”), and that the only way to truly understand oneself and the questions of life is through developing somatic intelligence.

	Elvira Houwen. Body Psychotherapy, Holistic Massage
		The aim of Body Psychotherapy is to remove blockages in body and mind that prevent the life force from flowing freely.
		When the massaging hands touch the right part of the body, memories of past events can be triggered, and emotions associated with those memories are often released at the same time.
		Body psychotherapy and holistic massage treatments will usually involve weekly one hour sessions for several weeks, depending on the client's needs.

		Psychotherapy of the 21st century, in whatever shape or form, cannot afford to ignore the emerging paradigm which has transformed our hierarchical conception of mind-over-body into a more mutual and co-created notion of the relationship between mind and body.
		Body Psychotherapy, for all its championing of the body, has had an inherent tendency to objectify the body, to break through the armour, to undercut the defences or to access primary impulses.
		Body Psychotherapy was pervaded by a simplistic identification of the unconscious with the body, and did not actually do justice to the whole body/mind although that was its professed aim.

	Body Synergy Institute - Client Services - Body Psychotherapy
		In Body Psychotherapy, when we speak of "posture," we are not just addressing physical issues, but also attitudinal and emotional patterns.
		Physical modalities, when not combined with psychotherapy, may not produce sufficient awareness of those thoughts and feelings that must be simultaneously understood and released along with the releasing of physical compensations.
		Body Psychotherapy is a dynamic process that connects people to an awareness of their real strength and resourcefulness, enabling them to learn and grow.

	Body Psychotherapy
		Body psychotherapy assumes that a functional unity exists between the body and the mind and that therapeutic change occurs through direct experience of the present moment.
		In the Body Psychotherapy concentration, the body, movement and sensorimotor tracking are brought intimately together in the process of psychotherapy, where they are studied and practiced in order to stimulate body-based awareness, repattern ill fitting constructs and organize more fulfilling behaviors to heal the body, mind and spirit as an energetic whole.

		The founder of body-oriented psychotherapy W.Reich has formulated the notion about the leading role of the increased muscle tone [the modern term, used by Ivanichev (1995), is LMH - local muscle hypertone] and straitened breathing in formation of psychological disorders.
		Objective evaluation of muscle hypertone, connected with the psychological status, and its dynamics during psychotherapy is possible by the aid of the well-known clinical and physiological techniques of muscle tone measurement.

		• learn the charge-discharge body scheme and repeat as often as possible without absolute safety from the transference stage, and without a complete rebuilding of the charging ability of the body, there will be no therapy since the cycles will remained frozen and the truth they cover will stay out of consciousness.

		Through the 1990s and into the new millennium, body psychotherapy has matured and, in essence, returned to a true focus on the bodyneurology, musculature, nervous system, movement, and chemistry, as well as the relationship of body systems to emotional and thinking systems.

		In the course of this journey, every aspect of our experience can unfold, deepen and be brought into greater harmony.
		When we explore our experience in ways that involve the body as well as the mind through art, movement, voice, sandtray, active imagination, dream work and other imaginative and creative practices, a healing process begins to occur that frees our innate creative abilities and sense of aliveness and involves our whole being.
