Depression and the Body: The Biological Basis of Faith and Reality

by Alexander Lowen

Depression and the Body: The Biological Basis of Faith and Reality Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Dr. Alexander Lowen is the creator of bioenergetics, which he has defined as "a therapeutic technique to help a person get back together with his body and to help him enjoy to the fullest degree possible the life of the body." Incorporating direct work on the body into the psychoanalytic process, Dr. Lowen practices psychiatry in New York and Connecticut and is the executive director of the Institute of Bioenergetic Analysis. He is married and lives in New Canaan, Connecticut, with his wife and son.
