The Language of the Body

The Language of the Body, originally published as Physical Dynamics of

Character Structure, brilliantly describes how personality is expressed in

the form and function of the body. The body is the key to understanding

behavior and working with the body is the key to psychological health.

The Language of the Body outlines the foundations of character structure:

schizoid, oral, masochistic, hysteric, and phallic narcissistic personality

types. Dr. Lowen examines the relationship between psychoanalytic

theory and body therapy.
