[Spontaneous body experiencing.].
The author, in collaboration with a group of colleagues is in the process of perfecting a new psycho therapeutic approach called Spontaneous Body Experiencing, The author works from the body without a preconceived notion of man. Rather he creates enabling conditions for the revelation of body secrets, for life to once again become a process, to express itself according to its own laws. Jie then sets forth the concepts basic to his approach such as touch which is viewed simply as a presence for the other; spontaneous body experiencing in which he describes his method as well as the resultant physical manifestations; the organismic process seen as a series of events linked to one and other and progressively involving the total organism in the form of movements having certain characteristics such as in voluntarism, their uniqueness from one individual to another, and their progressive globalization; the body-memory or energetic structure which is restrained movement. The author concludes with a description of the beneficial effects of this new therapeutic approach.
