Soth, M. (2000) The integrated bodymind's view on ‘body/mind integration'.
AChP Newsletter 2000
This was written up as an article following a presentation to the Chiron Association's (AChP)
AGM in 1999. During the presentation itself I more or less did the opposite of what I was
talking about and modelled a fairly dis-integrated stance. The learning from that experience
then inspired this article which - amongst other things - formulates for the first time publicly
(at least in Chiron history) a list of strong criticisms of Reich. But it also outlines the
principles of re-integrating the psychoanalytic and Reichian tradition and addresses some of
the conceptual re-formulations which then become necessary. As it is addressed to
association member, friends and colleagues, it is written fairly casually.
