vegetotherapy

Vegetotherapy is a form of Reichian psychotherapy that involves the physical manifestations of emotions.

==Development== The fundamental text of vegetotherapy is Wilhelm Reich's Psychischer Kontakt und vegetative Strömung (1935), later included in the expanded edition of Reich's Character Analysis (1933 and 1949). The practice grew out of Reich's extension of psychoanalysis to cover what he called "character analysis", which involved alleviating a person's body armor and the character defenses that maintain an individual in a state of neurosis.
