Recovery of the Left Out Part

John Conger uses Jungian structure to help us honor, respect, and read the body for deeper core healing of the person. He clearly shows how our body is an arcive of information to give us the map to more and more freedom and meaning in our lives....The Body in Recovery is a map for the recovery of the TRUE SELF. Somantic signals have meaning and logic that can move us on the Individuation Process toward more and more meaning and purpose for our LIVES.Barbara James MA CBT LMFT LMHC

much-needed theory for bodywork

An extremely articulate and thoughtful work that provides a much-needed framework for understanding how psychotherapy emphasizing the body is (or can be) effective. There is still a paucity of meaningful theoretical writing on this theme. Excellent.
