Somatic Psychology

Meer over het boek

Exploring the intersection of psychotherapy and bodywork, the author emphasizes the importance of integrating somatic practices with psychological theory to address the body-mind split. Hartley argues that solely offering either psychotherapy or bodywork can exacerbate clients' issues. By bridging body psychotherapy and transpersonal psychotherapy, she highlights the emerging field of somatic psychology, informed by extensive research. Drawing from her background in dance and movement therapy, Hartley advocates for a holistic approach that acknowledges the interconnectedness of psyche, soma, and spirit in therapeutic practices.
