title: Body - image - recovery. The effect of therapeutic methods working with more modalities on body image change and trauma recovery.
abstract: The present study aims to demonstrate, by applying case study methods, how body image changes during the processing of trauma and therapy. Based on contemporary psychoanalytic theories, the concept of embodiment and the trauma interpretations, I explore how the implicit relationship experience may appear in the body image of a person, and how this may change due to the therapeutic relationship and other impacts in the therapy. To understand the therapeutic process, I am going to use Bucci's contemporary psychoanalytic theory framework, which claims that there is interplay between the symbolic and sub-symbolic levels, therefore it is particularly good to show the application of different methods of expression and their common use in non-verbal therapies.
