At this point in time, it is obvious that Bioenergetic Analysis can neither remain solely within the
limitations of its original energy concepts, nor can it afford to lose its roots and become lost in the recent
relational and process oriented approaches. In part, its viability will require that it expands its
conceptual framework and cast a curious eye on the research from contemporary neuroscience. A
continual reevaluation of old and integration of new concepts is necessary for surviving and thriving.
This is also true in similar ways for the broader arena of body psychotherapy and much of my article
will apply to other schools of body psychotherapy
