Healing the Whole Person

Elements of yogic practice have been incorporated into several scientifically supported western psychotherapies. Yet despite the recent trend toward medical studies of meditation and related phenomena, few good resources exist on the more general theoretical foundations and methods of yoga as a therapeutic modality. HEALING THE WHOLE PERSON is a classic overview of yoga psychotherapy that is a ground-breaking and comprehensive introduction intended for mental health professionals and serious practitioners. This book delves into body and behavioural techniques, the relationship between therapist and client, the collective unconscious, the chakras and psychological models, spiritual aspects of psychotherapy and more.
