Honoring the Body: The Autobiography of Alexander Lowen, M.D.

The candid, highly-opinionated, revealing self-told story of an internationally acclaimed psychiatrist and innovator in the field of psychotherapy. Told with genuineness and exceptional candor, Dr. Lowen shares his journey of creating Bioenergetic Analysis. "If you have the willingness to accept the realities of life, you will live longer. It has allowed me to reach 93 years of age. I was raised to value the mind and intellect, not the body. Favoring the life of the mind went against my nature. Healing the splits between my mind and my body has been my life's challenge. In the sixty years that I have practiced psychotherapy, I have learned that the pathway to emotional health is through the body. The underlying purpose of Bioenergetic Analysis has always been to heal the mind-body split."
