Contemporary Body Psychotherapy

Linda Hartley Β· 2008
72/100
πŸ‘ Worth It

As a practitioner-focused volume documenting a specific integrative body-psychotherapy model from one of the UK's established training centres, this earns its place on a clinician's shelf β€” the trauma-informed perspective and self-regulation framework are timely, and Routledge publication ensures editorial rigor. General readers or those without a somatic therapy background will find it inaccessible, but within its intended professional audience it is a credible and substantive contribution.

✦ Penny’s Take β€” this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below.
