Developmental Somatic
Psychotherapy™
developmental process embodied within the clinical moment
Two-Year Training Program New York City
2009-2011
Developmental Somatic Psychotherapy, created by Ruella Frank, Ph.D.,
is a relational and movement-oriented approach to psychotherapy within
a gestalt therapy framework.
Inspired by the work of developmental psychologists and somatic
practitioners, Developmental Somatic Psychotherapy is a template for
understanding and working with early psychophysical blocks as they
emerge in the here-and-now of therapy. Attending to movement patterns
is particularly powerful when guided by contemporary developmental
theory.
