ABSTRACT

In my development of body-centred therapy, which I label as biosynthesis, I work with the assumption that there are three primary modes of therapy, which I call centring, grounding and facing. Each of these is linked to the harmonious functioning of the organ-systems which are derived from the primary cell layers in the embryological organisation of the foetus. Excessive stress, whether before, during or after birth, breaks up the cooperation and integration between the realms of these three cell layers. Therapy can be defined as a way of seeking to restore that integration.
