The Language of the Body: Physical Dynamics of Character Structure Paperback – December 18, 2012

This book is a gem and worthwhile studying for this pioneer's theories in "Bioenergetics Therapy.I met and took workshops with him in the late 1970's and introduced his methods into my work as a head of a division of psychosomatic medicine at a major medical university.To fully understand the origins of his theory it helps to have read and been trained in Freudian Therapy as well as to adopt the he the later work of Sandor Ferenci "Activity therapy as a add on to Freud's theories.With this background Lowen blossomed into the field and co-founder of "Bioenergetic Therapy"and combined the most useful of analytic therapy with the use of touch and body work.There are others who have developed similar schemata. To get an easy read i suggest Googling and reading the essays of The Bioenergetic Institute"in Perth Australia.However this book is a treasure of information and i highly recommend it for those interested seriously interested in Bioenergetics Therapy.

Was introduced to Alexander Lowen through other courses and love his synopsis of body language and how it helps a practitioner discover personality. Good book filled with tons of information. I also recommend his book "Bioenergetics".

This was probably relevant at one point in time, but now feels rather outdated. A re-working of the concepts with a modern understanding of human psychology including some actual research would be welcome. This book is interesting as a historic account of what was believed to be understood at one point in time.

Not a review of the book.Received and the product was in good condition, all pages are intact but it is old so the colors are a little yellow.Looking forward to reading.

Brand new and fast delivery

fascinating, easily understood. Lowen has a very clear style of writing and his work has inspired me to learn more about bioenergetics and trauma releasing exercise

Great book! Very deep and informative!I learned a lot from it.

Wow, this is not at all what I thought it was going to be. So densely written you need to be a scientist.
