A family of psychotherapeutic approaches that includes bodily sensation, posture, movement, and breathing alongside psychological reflection. It influenced several twentieth-century breathwork schools. Examples include Bioenergetic Analysis, Hakomi and Biodynamic Psychology. In Germany it is practiced by trained therapists, but it is not one of the procedures covered by statutory health insurance.
