Body Psychotherapy for the 21st Century

‘Nick Totton has been a pivotal figure in Body Psychotherapy, both as a historian and as a continual innovator and critic of BP and the whole psychotherapy field. This book has the vitality of genuine re-appraisal and both frankness and rigour in its argument and questions. Definitely a thought-provoking and up to date read.’

‘An exquisite introduction to Body Psychotherapy, describing the influences on its development and the models of working so that people new to this approach will be able to get an image of it. It also offers an excellent and clear overview that can be used by professionals in their further development of theory and methods.’
