✦ Synopsis

From yoga to neuroscience, a tour of major ideas about the body and mind.Body psychotherapy, which examines the relationship of bodily and physical experiences to emotional and psychological experiences, seems at first glance to be a relatively new area and on the cutting edge of psychotherapeutic theory and practice.
