About this title

Synopsis

A revised and updated new edition of a body psychotherapy classic, 'Reichian Growth Work' sets out to convey the essential features of Reichian therapy in concrete and easily understandable language. The style of body therapy which it describes is democratic, growth-oriented and undogmatic, while still committed to Reich's radical description of human beings and their difficulties. 'This book is for people who want to change; because only by changing, profoundly painful as that sometimes is, can we stay alive and growing.'

Review

For everyone with a body, not just the professionals! Edmundson and Totton give a vivd account of an approach which is both compassionate and effective. Body psychotherapy lies at the conjuction of most of the main themes of contemporary psychotherapy: the key role of relationship in the psyche, enhanced understandings stemming from neuroscience and physiology, the need for as much non-regulated practitioner automony and freedom to dare as is consistent with responsible practice, and the realisation of how little of what we do is natural and how much irradiated by the culture in which we live. Maybe capitalism's latest crisis will force people to re-read Reich as the relevant theorist of alternative ways to organise our world. If that thought interests you, start here ... --Andrew Samuels, Professor of Analytical Psychology, University of Essex

Store Description

We are a family run online bookshop based in Wales at the western edge of the Brecon Beacons National park and have been selling books online since October 2004. I have always had a love of books and it eventually got to the stage where my own book collection began to take over the family home! I reluctantly decided to sell a few of my own books on Amazon and was astonished at how quickly they sold. I was hooked and decided to start buying and selling books as a small part-time business from my spare bedroom. The business rapidly expanded, taking over the spare bedroom and my garage, swiftly followed by a spare bedroom in my mother's house and her garage! I acquired a small industrial unit in February 2007 and took the plunge to go full-time in March 2007, closely followed by my wife in September 2007. In October 2007 we moved in to larger premises and also took on our first members of staff to assist with the ever increasing workload. Our aim is to ensure that the people who buy our books enjoy the same service that we would hope for when purchasing a book ourselves. To that end, we endeavour to give all our books accurate descriptions, price them accordingly and dispatch swiftly and safely. All orders are dispatched within one working day, Monday to Friday. We will endeavour to answer all queries by email within 24 hours.
