Synopsis

Revealing that a client's posture, movements, and bodily experiences are indeed relevant to therapy, Kepner offers an insightful framework for incorporating these aspects into a therapeutic framework. This comprehensive treatment explains how body work can be integrated with the aims, methods, and philosophy of psychotherapy, offering a framework within which practitioners of different theoretical approaches can better appreciate body processes in the context of the whole person, rather than as isolated events. 8/93.
