This book represents an outstanding contribution to the field of somatic psychology. A broad review of the Darwinian-Jamesian heritage on emotion studies is a unique contribution to the tradition of the somatogenic strands of emotions, and provides a contrasting focus to the ideogenic emotions in Sigmund Freud.

Recensioner i media

“The book focuses on understanding meditation and mindfulness as a form of somatic intelligence … . Graduate and professional students in clinical fields will find it helpful in synthesizing traditional mindfulness philosophy with contemporary empirical research to inform a holistic care approach. As well, medical and mental health practitioners will find it a helpful text for offering new insight and strategies for integrating mindfulness practices into primary, mental health, and specialized care.” (Kimberlee Bethany Bonura, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 62 (48), December, 2017)
