ABSTRACT

If we accept the ideas laid out in the previous chapter, then the question arises of how we can put them into operation: what do they imply for the practice of psychotherapy? Well, it turns out that a form of clinical practice already exists which is at least halfway to answering the question; this is body psychotherapy, which is uniquely placed to take up and make use of these concepts which match so well with its basic assumptions—though they also challenge it to complement its embodied practice with a theory adequate to the task.
