A wide range of ancient Eastern and modern Western philosophies are connected in this exciting new therapy. Free your bodily tensions and release long-held emotions, enhancing your mental and physical health. Rosenberg's Integrative Body Psychotherapy helps develop both personal and internal growth, focusing on the whole person — the body, mind, emotions and spirit.

An integration of various disciplines, this approach is ideal for professionals looking to develop a holistic and integrated philosophy of health. This book helps both professionals and lay readers learn:

-The basic tools of Integrative Body Psychotherapy
-Segments of the body, and how they work together
-The stages in development of the self
-The physical/energetic level of sexuality
-The intra-psychic level of sexuality
-The interpersonal level of sexuality
-The transpersonal experience

What readers are saying about this book:

The authors' broad perspective is a welcome relief from the narrowness of most self-development systems. Body, Self, and Soul is thoughtful, practical, and very well informed.
— Michael Murphy, founder of Esalen Institute
