Self-Object Needs in Body Therapy

Authors

  • Arnim H. Krüger

Abstract

The author draws the line of analytical body-psychotherapeutical work with his contribution “Self-object Needs in Body Therapy“ to H. Kohufs Self-Psychology. It is a given that in the practise of a humanistic empathical understanding - including the accepting attitude towards the early disturbance -the historical link in psychotherapy from Reich - Ferenczi - Kohut stands closer to analytical body therapy than, for instance, the link Freud -Kernberg. The results of modern baby research (see among others Domes) seem to confirm this theory's necessity, even up to the fact that self-psychologically postulated self-object needs (after mirroring, after idealization, after sameness and belonging) also show the corresponding bodily dimensions.

Keywords:
Psychoanalysis; Narcissism; Body therapy; Self psychology; Self-object needs.
