American psychiatrist who developed Bioenergetic Analysis — extending Wilhelm Reich's body-oriented work into a systematic therapy.
Bioenergetic Analysis: the body holds character structure — chronic muscular tensions correspond to psychological defenses. Physical exercises and grounding techniques to discharge chronic tensions. The Language of the Body: a systematic account of how character is expressed in posture, movement, and muscle tone.
