Episode 4 - Psychoanalysis

In episode 4, "Psychoanalysis", Stephen R King and Robert Price talk about the history of psychoanalytic technique and how this may have influenced body psychotherapy as a profession. Freud wrote across 24 volumes, introducing ideas that continue to shape psychotherapy, medicine, and contemporary discussions around embodiment. While many aspects of his work remain controversial, concepts such as repression, defence, repetition compulsion, transference, and unconscious conflict still underpin much of modern therapeutic thinking. Rather than attempting to summarise all of Freud’s writing chronologically, this episode focuses on the key concepts that remain clinically useful for body psychotherapists, psychosomatic practitioners, and voice clinicians.
