This book looks at the ground-breaking work of the London based Chiron Centre for Body Psychotherapy, bringing together Chiron trainers and therapists, describing how their approach has enabled cutting-edge thinking. "Essential reading for anyone seriously interested in body psychotherapy." - Nick Totton, body psychotherapy trainer and author "I found Contemporary Body Psychotherapy a rewarding book to read, reminding me, as it did, of my own origins as a body psychotherapist and suggesting some directions I could have followed, but didn't, in my subsequent career. It will also be useful to anyone interested in body psychotherapy and will be interesting to anyone involved in psychotherapy training and development." - Geoff Lamb, Self and Society, 36(4), Jan-Feb, 2009 "Overall, this book is a delightful resource for Gestalt therapists, supervisors and trainers. It is a fine celebration of the work of Chiron over twenty years and brings together disparate voices into a coherent and meaningful whole. Linda Hartley deserves credit for achieving this through her succinct and evocative summaries of each section...This book invites the reader into energetic engagement with the theory and practice of body psychotherapy, and it is impossible not to be touched by each of the authors in some way." - Belinda Harris, British Gestalt Journal, Vol. 18, No. 2, December 2009
