Brennan Healing Science: An Integrative Approach to Therapeutic Intervention (Health and Human Development)

Brennan Healing Science® (BHS) was founded by Barbara Ann Brennan as a healing approach within the context of touch-based regulatory therapies, which integrates Brennan s direct experience as a physicist and healer along with Alexander Lowen s (1910-2008) concepts of character analysis for the purpose of promoting health and well-being. BHS is based on the tripartite concept of human nature (body, mind and spirit) and refers to ancient concepts of a vital force (originally conceived as qi by the Chinese or as prana in the Hindu tradition) . In this book, the authors try to shed light on this therapeutic care method, its background and hopefully promote further scientific research.
