Reviews

"Late at night, when everyone is quiet, sit alone with Robert Bosnak's astonishing book, Embodiment, and allow him to accompany you on an exciting journey that is at once physical, spiritual, psychological, and astonishingly compatible with current data from neuroscience and cognitive science. As a working psychoanalyst, I have found this to be so transformational to my work that I can never again say 'It's only a dream'." - Philip M. Bromberg, Training and Supervising Analyst, William Alanson White Institute; Clinical Professor of Psychology, New York University Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis, USA"I am convinced we should press forward with this lovely, simple, effective discipline which has proven itself with such remarkable results in our Company." - Michael Boyd, Artistic Director of the Royal Shakespeare Company, Stratford-upon-Avon, UK"Drawing on Henry Corbin's Imaginal Realm, as well as on medieval alchemy, scientific complexity theory, East Asian philosophy, postcolonial critique, and above all on three decades intensive work with dreams, Embodiment reveals how humans can relate to the multiple beings alive in each of us. Original and fascinating." - Kimberley C. Patton, Professor of the Comparative and Historical Study of Religion, Harvard Divinity School, USA
