Self-Regulation and Psychodynamics in Bioenergetic Analysis

This article presents ten theses containing theoretical considerations for a postgraduate curriculum as currently tested by the Polish Society for Bioenergetic Analysis. The bioenergetic notion of the self, of affect regulation and of mental defense are modified in order to allow for psychodynamic conflict-, structure- and trauma-pathological concepts to be integrated into Bioenergetic Analysis. Among other advantages, this approach facilitates the work with structural disorders (narcissism, borderline personality disorder) in Bioenergetic Analysis. https://www.psychosozial-verlag.de/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/20000/products_id/108363 https://doi.org/10.30820/0743-4804-2021-31 peerReviewed publishedVersion
