Der Körper in der Psychotherapie

Physical expression is ubiquitous not only in psychotherapeutic work oriented towards the body and movement, but also in verbal psychotherapy. In this volume, the author explores the following questions, among others, from a neuropsychological perspective: With which specific psychological processes are facial expressions, gestures, and posture associated? What are the universal, cultural and individual components of expressive movement behaviour? How reliable is the intuitive interpretation of bodily expression? How do unconscious and conscious nonverbal interactions differ? What information do gestures provide, in contrast to language? What is the psychological function of different types of self-touching? This book provides empirically based knowledge about physical expression and offers numerous suggestions for therapeutic practice.
