Experience In Action: A Psychomotor Psychology

Experience In Action: A Psychomotor Psychology

This noteworthy book not only summarizes a new form of psychotherapy and emotional reeducation, which many professionals today consider to be the most effective and safest form of therapy, but presents Albert Pesso's logical philosophy of human emotional developmental needs. Here he elaborates on a theoretical approach to the place and use of movement as a psychotherapeutic technique, while developing an interesting philosophical frame of reference as an overview. Psychomotor Therapy evolved out of two techniques: the isolation of movement into three modalities (reflex, voluntary, emotional) and the providing of polarized (negative, positive) accommodators. The accommodators provide an appropriate responding environment that encourages emotional (verbal and motoric) free association. Since most of the material that emerges in the emotional modality relates to the past and to parents, the negative accommodators represent negative aspects of the parents, while the positive accommodators represent new archetypical parents. This provides a "structure" within which catharsis may be achieved, followed by new, more appropriate emotional learning/conditioning experience. Albert Pesso and Diane Boyden-Pesso developed their theories out of thousands of hours of experience with hundreds of subjects using the Psychomotor method. presents many new Psychomotor theories, illustrating them with examples from actual Psycho-motor sessions. Experience in Action is written so that it can be understood by the layman as well as the professional. It will be of special interest to all those in the helping professions: psychotherapists, ministers, teachers, social workers, nurses, and others dealing with interpersonal relationships.

Created in 1961 by Albert Pesso and Diane Boyden-Pesso, Pesso Boyden System Psychotherapy (PBSP) is the most advanced therapeutic system available for emotional re-education or reprogramming. PBSP heals past emotional deficits using unique processes called â€˜Structuresâ€™ and â€˜Microtrackingâ„¢â€™ that help clients to identify emotional deficits and create â€˜new memoriesâ€™. These â€˜new memoriesâ€™ provide symbolic fulfillment of the basic developmental needs of place, nurture, support, protection and limits. With the inclusion of â€˜Holes and Roles,â€™ the latest innovation in PBSP theory and technique, therapists learn how to provide a highly effective and streamlined approach to reducing resistance, negative transference, and somatic overload. Many aspects of PBSP theories and techniques have close parallels in recent neuroscience findings about mirror neurons, empathy, morality, and the impact of language on the theory of mind.

Albert Pesso has been called one of the three living masters of body-based psychotherapy and was chosen to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award by the United States Association For Body Psychotherapy in 2012.
