The embodied self: movement and psychoanalysis.
Author: Bloom, Katya Published: 2006 By integrating principles from her background as a movement psychotherapist and movement analyst with key concepts from contemporary psychoanalysis, the author offers a new perspective on exploring the interrelationships between non-verbal and verbal articulation in any therapy setting. The embodies self aims to provide a practical and experiental working model for developing therapists' emobodied attentiveness, which will enhance their recognition of the sensori-affective manifestations of transference and counter-transference. It will inform the work of psychotherapists and psychoanalysts, dance movement therapists, and body psychotherapists, as well as those involved in psychoanalytic observational studies. |
