ABSTRACT

There is a clearer understanding nowadays of the essential role that Jung assigned to bodily experiences for the most complete expression of individual human potential, i.e. individuation. Even in the late 1980s references to body techniques as integrated in depth psychology still brought surprised reactions in the Jungian community. Fortunately, we now have significant examples of the efficacy of these techniques, thanks to the work of many therapists, some of whom are cited below. It is time for this acceptance of the integration of the body to occur because in this information era it is urgently important to clarify the relationship between body and psyche, especially in the ways that human corporeality is experienced and lived through informatization.
