have been dealt within and outside neoreichian psychotherapy. She argues that, the absence of a clear use of a Gender Theory has biased theoretical formulations, research and practice even neoreichian psychotherapy. Some aspects of contemporary psychology views on these topics are outlined and conclude with examples on Latin American cultural and social researches on women’s social behaviour. Systemic psychotherapy integrated with individual somatic Biosynthesis psychotherapy is presented by Esther Frankel in her article Systemic Intervention in Biosynthesis: How to work in the relational field with families. With a personal introduction to the systemic theme, Esther writes about her own process of healing and shows from her clinical experiences how the systemic and individual somatic psychotherapy are complementary. Theoretical links based on the Biosynthesis Life Fields, and field of intentionality model are shown in a practical session with family constellation. The book Psychothérapie Corporelles, Fondements et Methodes, by Michel Heller is reviewed by Jerome Liss. The feeling that we are returning to ancient origins of body awareness, and therefore the Western history of Freud, Reich, Lowen and Boadella, is seen as coming from deeper roots. Especially interesting is the presentation of Darwinian notions regarding the evolution of the body and emotions and Cannon’s work regarding homeostasis. As pointed by Jerome the understanding of the basic message of this book is essential for body psychotherapists. David Boadella reviews the book The Hill Speaks by the poet Elsa Corbluth. As David comments: this new collection may sound local, but is quite global in scope. For Elsa a landscape on earth is an opening to a landscape of the heart. Whether it is a flower, a tree, a rock, or a mountain, she presents this from her artistic vision as a bridge between her vision of the world of nature, where even hills have a voice and can speak, and the inner passions of being human. The book is full of breath-taking currents that lead us into worlds of myth and legend, or back to solid earth with a bump. The new book of Pim van Lommel, Consciousness is reviewed by David Boadella.

Van Lommel, who was for 26 years a cardiologist at a hospital in Arnhem, Holland, concludes that consciousness is not produced by the brain, but acts through the brain, and is trans-somatic, in the sense that is not locally dependent on the life processes of the body. The book is supported by over 450 detailed footnotes, and 360 major references to neurological, biological, quantum-physical, psycho-energetic and philosophical sources. Lommel’s detailed but panoramic survey of the field of consciousness beyond the brain and the body, is a masterpiece of clinical, scientific and cultural research.
