    Association of Childhood Maltreatment With Adult Body Awareness and Autonomic Reactivity: The Moderating Effect of Practicing Body Psychotherapy
    (Amer Psychological Assoc, Div Psychotherapy, 2023) Jokic, Biljana; Puric, Danka; Grassmann, Herbert; Walling, Christopher G.; Nix, Evan J.; Porges, Stephen W.; Kolacz, Jacek
    Research shows the disruptive effects of early maltreatment on the autonomic nervous system (ANS) functioning in adulthood. Psychotherapists not only tend to report higher rates of personal experience with early maltreatment, but also fewer mental problems and disturbances in adulthood, as compared to other professions. However, the role of the ANS in these processes has been understudied despite the relevance of the therapist's psychological state and related nonverbal communication for the therapeutic alliance. By comparing body psychotherapists to the general population, the present study aimed to explore the effects of practicing body psychotherapy (BPT) on the link between early maltreatment and autonomic reactivity in adulthood. An online study included 570 body psychotherapists from 35 countries (54% from the United States, M-age = 52.92, 81% of females) and 592 participants from the U.S. general population (M-age = 51.89, 78% females). We first inspected the factorial structure of the Body Perception Questionnaire-Short Form (Cabrera et al., 2018) in the specific population of BPT practitioners, confirming the three-factor model with one body awareness and two autonomic reactivity factors. Compared to the general population, BPT practitioners reported higher levels of childhood maltreatment, but fewer autonomic symptoms in adulthood, better differentiation of body awareness and autonomic reactivity, and a weaker association between childhood maltreatment experiences and present-day autonomic symptoms. Results are discussed in the framework of polyvagal theory (Porges, 1995, 2011).

    Body psychotherapy training at university level–piloting a novel integrated master’s programme
    (Taylor&Francis Group, 2023) Röhricht, Frank; Bademci, H. Özden; Eckert, Amara; Grassmann, Herbert; Joki?, Biljana; Papadopoulos, Nina; Sollmann, Ulrich; Stupiggia, Maurizio
    Over the course of the last decade a growing number of clinical trials have been conducted to evaluate and demonstrate the efficacy and clinical utility of body psychotherapy for various mental health problems. The statutory provider landscape for psychological therapies does however rarely provide these therapies for patients; several factors have been identified for this mismatch and among those the lack of university-accredited academic training schemes constitutes a major limitation for wider dissemination and implementation within highly regulated health care systems. This paper explores an innovative pilot to establish a master’s programme in clinical psychology with a focus on embodiment in Turkey/Istanbul. The curriculum represents an integration of perspectives from various body psychotherapy schools. Findings of the pilot are encouraging and may serve as a template for the development of similar schemes with support from professional bodies such as the European and United States associations of body psychotherapy.
