Analytische Bewegungs- und Tanztherapie

Often, psychological conflicts can no longer be put into words. Many patients, trapped in their own experiential world, are difficult to reach through language. This is where analytical movement and dance therapy comes in, combining insights from psychoanalysis with expressive movement. Movement is like a language: it brings inner conflicts to light and makes them accessible for interpretation and processing. The book describes the connection between psychoanalysis and psychotherapy with movement, dance, and body work, illustrating it with vivid case examples. Contents include: I. Practice-related body phenomena Dance therapy thoughts on psychological energy The unconscious as choreographer: body memory and body fantasy in the service of coming to terms with the past Physical countertransference: empathy and movement empathy II. Case descriptions.
