Description
The Betrayal of the Body is a pioneering study of the mind-body split by Alexander Lowen. This book explores how people deny the reality, needs, and feelings of their bodies, leading to an over-charged ego that prioritizes thinking over feeling and being. Lowen reveals the energetic factors behind this split and the therapeutic techniques available to treat it. The author examines the mind-body duality in individuals and its parallel dysfunction in society, highlighting the imbalance between culture and nature, and thinking and feeling. By understanding the root causes of this split, readers can gain insight into the factors that contribute to our emotional and physical well-being. Through Lowen's work, readers can develop a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of the mind and body, and how this understanding can be used to promote healing and balance in their own lives.
