Bioenergetik als mentalisierende Körperpsychotherapie

Die Synthese von Körpertherapie und Mentalisierungskonzept fördert den Therapieerfolg

The mentalization concept represents a significant enhancement of psychodynamically based psychotherapies. Unfortunately, however, it almost completely ignores the body. To this end, this book aims to combine mentalization-based and body-oriented psychotherapy approaches in a way that allows them to mutually enrich each other in patients’ best interests. In theoretical and practice-related articles, nine Bioenergetic analysts and psychotherapists present new perspectives that result from a mentalization-based body psychotherapy in the fields of therapist training, clinical work and therapeutic practice. It locates this approach in a highly dynamic field characterized by terms such as intersubjectivity, embodiment, neuro-psychoanalysis, and the afore mentioned mentalization. Additionally, it discusses problems that an increasingly digitalized world poses for the ability to mentalize an embodied affectivity.
