Body Psychotherapy for the 21st Century looks at the wider psychotherapy field, bringing awareness of embodiment into what has been a verbally oriented profession. Engaging with neuroscience, phenomenology and cognitive studies, as well as the relational turn in psychotherapy.

Body psychotherapy currently attracts more interest than ever before and is taking up an important role in the general psychotherapy field, bringing awareness of embodiment into what has been a verbally oriented profession. It is also developing into a sophisticated approach which engages with recent advances in other disciplines including neuroscience,
phenomenology, and cognitive studies, as well as the relational turn in psychotherapy. Body Psychotherapy for the 21st Century uses a historical survey to chart this transformation, and shows how four distinct versions of embodied practice have interacted to generate the current field.

Nick Totton has been a body psychotherapist for many years and has developed and taught on training courses in Embodied-Relational Therapy and Wild Therapy. He is the author of several books, including Embodied Relating: The Ground of Psychotherapy, Not A Tame Lion, and Wild Therapy. He was founding editor of Psychotherapy and Politics International, and a past chair of Psychotherapists & Counsellors for Social Responsibility and the Psychotherapy and Counselling Union. He lives in Cornwall with his partner and grows vegetables.
