Calatonia: the subtle touch in psychotherapy

Abstract

This review is an invitation to enter the world of calatonia, a technique of psychophysical integration, by the delicate hands of Rosa Farah, a psychologist and teacher who dedicated years of her life to its practice and teaching. It is an adaptation of her own book Integração psicofísica – o trabalho corporal e a psicologia de C. G. Jung (Psychophysical integration – bodywork and psychology of C. G. Jung would be the title in English) published in 2008, now in a more synthetic format in Portuguese and English. Its English version will enable professor Sándor’s knowledge to reach students in Europe and in The United States.
