Description
Book SynopsisRevised and updated edition of this body psychotherapy classic, Reichain 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.
Trade ReviewTwenty years on, its authors reaffirm the relevance of their style of Reichian bocywork and its place in the context of today's psychotherapeutic preoccupations with embodiment, trauma and attachment - Jargon free, charming and democratic, it makes for and accessible read. Lisa Schmidt, body therapist, Therapy Today, June 2009.
