The Healing Touch: An Introduction to Organismic Psychotherapy

This book describes how to be an actual practitioner of a humanistic style of body psychotherapy that follows in the tradition of Carl Rogers, Abraham Maslow, and the Gestalt Therapists. It speaks about how to apply direct touch methods of treatment to various patterns of armoring. These patterns can easily be overlearned and overfixated in the psyche of the practitioner. Therefore we do not subscribe rigidly to the Lowenian and Reichian typologies, and we advise the reader therefore not to adhere to them too fanatically.
