Abstract
In a previous article, Heller (2007) described how body psychotherapy arrived in Oslo at the beginning of the Second World War. This paper will describe how Wilhelm Reich became a catalyst for passionate discussions between psychiatrists, psychoanalysts, psychologists, physiotherapists, dance therapists, and vegetotherapists. The result is probably a creativity and professionalism that has never been found again in the field of body psychotherapy, which is sadly unknown because most of the literature only exists in Norwegian. This paper will then connect some of the issues raised in this period with more recent developments, such as biodynamic psychology, and studies on nonverbal communication, with a focus on the coordination between self regulation and interaction.
