The Language of the Body, originally published as Physical Dynamics
of Character Structure, brilliantly describes how personality is
expressed in the form and function of the body.
The body is the key to understanding behavior and working with the body
is the key to psychological health. The Language of the Body outlines
the foundations of character structure: schizoid, oral, masochistic,
hysteric, and phallic narcissistic personality types. Dr. Lowen examines
the relationship between psychoanalytic theory and body therapy.
