Zugänge zum Leib – Gesichtspunkte leibtherapeutischer Praxis in der Integrativen Therapie
摘要
Integrative Therapy (IT), as an approach within the humanistic cluster, is based on a phenomenological methodology embedded in an intersubjective relational process. Central to this approach is the concept of the lived body (Leib) as a bridging construct. It connects the view of the human being as an embodied subject, rooted in French philosophy of embodiment, with dimensions of cognitive science, and extends these perspectives into psychotherapeutic practice. Starting from a metatheoretical understanding of the lived body, the contribution demonstrates its connection to embodied phenomenological clinical practice in body-oriented psychotherapy. This practice is further complemented and empirically supported by findings from the cognitive neurosciences. The article theoretically outlines how the body, from a phenomenological perspective, can be integrated into the different modalities of Integrative Therapy, and illustrates this through case vignettes. It highlights the synergistic application of various modalities within a professional, trust-based, phenomenological-hermeneutic relational framework.
