"Essential reading for anyone seriously interested in body
psychotherapy." - Nick Totton, body psychotherapy trainer and
author"I found Contemporary Body Psychotherapy a rewarding book to
read, reminding me, as it did, of my own origins as a body
psychotherapist and suggesting some directions I could have
followed, but didn't, in my subsequent career. It will also be
useful to anyone interested in body psychotherapy and will be
interesting to anyone involved in psychotherapy training and
development." - Geoff Lamb, Self and Society, 36(4), Jan-Feb,
2009"Editor Linda Hartley’s earlier book was a sophisticated
description of her personal, holistic and transpersonal approach to
somatic psychology as a mode of human growth and healing. Her
incisive approach is again obvious in this collection of articles
by trainers and therapists at the well-known Chiron Centre for Body
Psychotherapy in London." - Jacqueline A. Carleton, Keep in Touch,
Issue 36, Winter/Spring 2009"Overall, this book is a delightful
resource for Gestalt therapists, supervisors and trainers. It is a
fine celebration of the work of Chiron over twenty years and brings
together disparate voices into a coherent and meaningful whole.
Linda Hartley deserves credit for achieving this through her
succinct and evocative summaries of each section...This book
invites the reader into energetic engagement with the theory and
practice of body psychotherapy, and it is impossible not to be
touched by each of the authors in some way." - Belinda Harris,
