Abstract

Questo articolo ripercorre la storia dell’Analisi Bioenergetica dalle origini del metodo psicoanalitico di Freud, attraverso lo sviluppo della teoria e della tecnica del lavoro con il corpo come introdotto da Wilhelm Reich, e ripercorre i contributi di Alexander Lowen che ha creato l’Analisi Bioenergetica. Verranno presentate le differenze tra Reich e Lowen, così come le differenze tra l’analisi bioenergetica e altri metodi orientati al corpo, e del perché gli altri metodi, sebbene preziosi, non siano così completi.
