Book Description
This book covers a range of human conditions. It
discusses biodynamic theories and methods, and the
psychological and psychoanalytic concepts that are at the
heart of this distinctive approach. These writings were
originally intended for students and practitioners. Some
of the writings are the result of questions asked about
psychosomatic conditions and how they can be treated
biodynamically. The biodynamic philosophy has been
applied to idiopathic disorders commonly encountered
including migraine, lower back pain, the broken coccyx,
Parkinsons syndrome and angina. Several case studies and
some modern understanding of ancient and esoteric
philosophies is included, and in a remarkably refreshing
and humorous presentation of biodynamic theory we are
asked 'Or would you rather be a cat?'
Synopsis
Volume One presents an in depth discussion of the
philosophy and treatment of psychosomatic disorders
including the Parkinson's syndrome, angina, lower back
pain and the broken coccyx . It contains important
hypotheses concerning the relationship between abdominal
pain and tension and chest conditions and outlines the
biodynamic facilitating attitude of communication,
intention and paying attention. Biodynamic methods
introduced includ e specific instruction in the ileo-caecal
valve treatment, opening the shoulder girdle to liberate
energy in the diaphragm an a general discussion on the
applications of the biodynamic approach and its basis in
psychoanalytical concepts. Peg also presents and
discusses her views on the esoteric function of the
cerebro-spinal fluid [CSF] and its relationship to the
ancient eastern concept of Kundalini. In addition the
principle of " Psycho-Peristalsis" is
introduced and referred to throughout the texts and case
studies, and in a remarkably refreshing and humourous
presentation of the fundamental aspects of biodynamic
theory - we are asked "Or would you rather be a cat?.

Synopsis
This book continues to discuss the philosophy and
techniques of Biodynamic Psychology and Psychotherapy as
introduced in Volume One. The second volume considers the
biodynamic treatments of depressive states and the fluid
factor in migraine. Other chapters introduce the
biodynamic understanding of the molecular basis of
communication between cells. Two important biodynamic
methods are described in depth the pulsatory touch
technique and the energy distribution massage technique,
both used in the treatment of psychosomatic disorders.
The book concludes with a a socio-biodynamic perspective
of the importance of the triangle of mother, father and
child - "In the beginning there was love".
This model outlines a constructive approach to the
understanding and dynamic management of the cognitive
changes needed to facilitate evolution of the life
processes of the mother, father and child at their
different mutual times of growth. It outlines the
essential building blocks that life itself needs for this
intrinsic unit to be supported, without prejudice to
feminist, religious, cultural, environmental, political
or economic considerations. This volume also includes
case histories.
