Abstract:
How does Bioenergetics, which is focused on the body of the
individual, articulate its concerns about the family and gender
roles? And how can we add new ideas to Bioenergetics without
betraying Alexander Lowen’s essential ideas, whose integrity he
strongly protected? The model of ‘suspicion and recovery’ of Paul
Ricoeur, the French philosopher, allows us to discover what is
unexamined, unexplored or repressed in Lowen’s ideas on the body
and the self. This hermeneutic perspective enables us to examine
the otherness of the embodied self in a way that honors Lowen’s
genius and his emphasis on the body. It also provides a way to
critique the historical limitations of Lowen’s views on the
development of the self, the family and gender roles, and provides
a pathway for incorporating new knowledge into Bioenergetics.
