ABSTRACT
This chapter describes Embodied-Relational Therapy (ERT), which is a synthesis of Reichian and process-based approaches to psychotherapy, drawing on philosophy and cognitive science. This chapter outlines its history and general principles and approach. It summarises a view of embodied relating as the ground of all psychotherapy, offers a reframing of the body psychotherapy concept of character, and illustrates ERT’s style of working through a fictional case vignette.
