Bioenergetische Analyse - eine körperorientierte Psychotherapie

Journal/Book: Ärztezeitschrift für Naturheilverfahren. 1992; 33/9: 748-757.

Abstract: Alexander Lowen, the founder of the Bioenergetic Analysis, suggests that man must be considered to represent a unit of spirit, body and energy. Accordingly, spiritual, bodily and energetic processes are functionally equivalent processes of the personality. Each of these spheres provides an own access to diseases and vital problems. The Bioenergetic Analysis understands the personality from the body and its energetic processes. The production of energy through respiration and metabolism and the discharge of energy through movement are considered to be the fundamental vital processes. How much energy is available for us and how we use this energy determines how we are going to handle vital situations, how we will respond to challenges. If we block our production or discharge of energy then we reduce our possibilities to respond in an appropriate manner to vital situations and, finally, may react emotionally and in a bodily disturbed way or may even become sick. Therefore, the Bioenergetic Analysis tries to release blocked energies and to transform them into joy and merriness.
