The definitive Hakomi textbook, written and edited by members of the Hakomi Institute― the world’s leading professional training program for Hakomi practitioners―and by practitioners and teachers from across the globe, introduces all the processes and practices that therapists need in order to begin to use this method with clients.

Written by two founding Senior Trainers of the Hakomi Institute, this book provides the general reader and clients of Hakomi with an overview of the central themes of Hakomi.
The sections on mindfulness in psychotherapy, the therapeutic relationship, how to guide
a process without efforting, and character theory will be of particular benefit to helping professionals.

Considered to be the original textbook on Hakomi. The book is written for a professional reader, yet is an easy-to-understand introduction to the Hakomi principles and the therapeutic application of mindfulness.

This is a beautiful and clear book on how Hakomi integrates principles from Eastern spiritual traditions to support change without force.

The book was originally written to help clients understand Hakomi’s gentle approach to change.

Dieses Kompendium ist ein Meilenstein in der Entwicklung der Hakomi-Therapie, aber auch weiterer Bereiche der somatischen Psychologie und der Körper-Geist-Therapie.

Bodyreading gehört zum Instrumentarium körperorientierter Therapien. Dieses Buch macht Ärzten, Physiotherapeuten und Psychotherapeuten diese Verfahren zugänglich. Es bietet aber weit über die Heilberufe hinaus interessierten Laien hilfreiche Möglichkeiten der Erfahrung mit sich selbst und anderen.
