Descripción del Curso
Six weekly two-hour sessions online, introducing the Vincular Body Psychotherapy approach.
The body is understood here as a psychosomatic and spiritual entity, worked through in both theory and practice. The course draws on neo-Reichian traditions (followers of Wilhelm Reich) – Body Psychotherapy, Biosynthesis and Bioenergetic Analysis, and their contemporary international schools – together with a gender-based approach to somatic experience.
Prof. Liliana Acero developed the whole framework as creator of the Vincular or Relational Body Psychotherapy tradition. Each topic gets a brief introduction followed by experiential exercises.
