Amore, sesso e cuore

by Alexander Lowen

Il legame tra sesso e cuore è soltanto simbolico, un portato della nostra cultura, oppure è reale e concreto? Ecco un nuovo libro di Lowen che intende approfondire questo dilemma analizzando la misura in cui la vita fisica è legata a quella affettiva e in cui la salute del corpo è condizionata dal benessere emotivo.

About the author

Alexander Lowen (1910–2008) was an American physician and psychotherapist. The story of his life is a story of how he honored the body and healed his mind-body split. It is also the story of how, along the way, he helped mankind.

During his lifetime, Lowen earned four college degrees: his Bachelor of Science; his Bachelor of Law (L.L.B); his Doctor of Sciences of Law (J.S.D.); and his medical Degree (M.D.). He developed Wilhelm Reich's beliefs into Bioenergetic Analysis and created a large and viable organization, the International Institute for Bioenergetic Analysis (IIBA) to sustain and promote his therapeutic approach. The IIBA now has over 1500 members and 54 training institutes worldwide. Bioenergetic Analysis is now practiced not only in the United States, but also in Canada, Europe, Latin America, Israel, New Zealand, Australia, Japan and other countries.

Dr. Lowen has authored 14 books (translated to as many as eight different languages, collectively) as well as numerous articles and other professional publications. He also has presented his ideas in untold numbers of interviews, on video and audio tapes, and lectures worldwide. The establishment of the Journal for Bioenergetic Analysis gave him much satisfaction since it provides an ongoing forum for examining and furthering the ideas he pioneered. When asked during an interview in 2004 what has given him the most meaning in life, he responds without hesitation, feeling the pleasure and life of the body.

Замечательная книга про связь тела и нашего психического состояния. Многие истории пациентов откликнулись у меня

[nelax · Rating 3 out of 5]

Książka niezwykle ciekawa, poruszono w niej wiele aspektów naszego życia, o których na co dzień się nie myśli. Sporo się z niej dowiedziałam, a wiedza została zaprezentowana w bardzo przystępny sposób. Jednak w połowie książka traci tempo, wydaje mi się trochę „rozwleczona”, a niektóre treści są wałkowane w kółko. Także stąd taka ocena, nie mniej uważam tę pozycję za wartościową i z pewnością będę ją polecać innym (zwłaszcza mężczyznom!). Pozwala wiele sobie uświadomić.

Alexander Lowan continues to be an inspiration for me.

The heart malfunctioning at lost love, lost ability, and lost will to live is an alarming part of this book. The will to live having a direct impact on the heart (dropping dead from heart attacks after losing your passions or loves) makes me uneasy. Inside are some sometimes alarming stories about will to live and the hearts relationship. It was a very interesting read, but someone stole my book. Drats.

В книжці аналізується вплив дитячих травм на хвороби серця. Хоча навіть не маючи таких хвороб, можна знайти себе в майже кожному прикладі. Наприкінці даються практичні рекомендації по подоланню синдрома «розбитого серця», вивільненню злості та суму

Es para pensar cada capítulo tus vivencias del pasado y el como actúas en el presente. Es algo sencillo de leer pero te pone a pensar muchas cosas y si haces conciencia, se mueven otras y empiezas a ver por ti mismo otras cosas de la vida...

Un gran texto, que resuena en comportamientos y actitudes que si no hacemos conscientes, pueden durar toda la vida y llevarnos a una situación cardiaca crítica.

[Fernando Cabezas Astorga · Rating 4 out of 5]

Una exposición desde el ámbito científico de la correlación entre las enfermedades coronarias y la psicología de los sentimientos, la psicología y la vida sexual sana. Llega a dar casos reales y estadísticas que muestran a las claras las conexiones de los infartos, las depresiones y los problemas sentimentales, lo mismo con la vida sexual desordenada o insatisfactoria. Los datos son precisos e incuestionables y dejan conclusiones abiertas para explorar más el tema.
