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 pivotal figure in Body Psychotherapy, both as a historian and as a continual innovator and critic of BP and the whole psychotherapy field. This book has the vitality of genuine re-appraisal and both frankness and rigour in its argument and questions. Definitely a thought-provoking and up to date read.'
— Roz Carroll, relational body psychotherapist, trainer and author

It also offers an excellent and clear overview that can be used by professionals in their further development of theory and methods.'
