Abstract

Attachment theorists have recently become more interested in how bodily-based processes and interventions can contribute to their interest in the emotional regulation of arousal levels. A review of current concepts and techniques in integrative regulation therapy, including their value for Bioenergetics, will be examined. The literature of recent writings on attachment within Bioenergetics will be provided, along with a clinical vignette utilizing both approaches. The paper proposes that the Bioenergetic community answer the call to promote a somatic-energetic approach to the larger psychotherapeutic world.
