Hakomi is an integrative method that combines Western psychology and body-centered techniques with mindfulness principles from Eastern psychology. This book, written and edited by members of the Hakomi Institute― the world’s leading professional training program for Hakomi practitioners―and by practitioners and teachers from across the globe, introduces all the processes and practices that therapists need in order to begin to use this method with clients. The authors detail Hakomi's unique integration of body psychotherapy, mindfulness, and the Eastern philosophical principle of non-violence, grounding leading-edge therapeutic technique in an attentiveness to the whole person and their capacity for transformation.Read Online Hakomi MindfulnessCentered Somatic Psychotherapy A Comprehensive Guide to Theory and Practice Halko Weiss Greg Johanson Lorena Monda Books

Hakomi MindfulnessCentered Somatic Psychotherapy A Comprehensive Guide to Theory and Practice Halko Weiss Greg Johanson Lorena Monda Books Reviews
- Hakomi changed my life. It is one of the original mindfulness-based psychotherapies and has flown under the radar for far too long. Hopefully this elegant and impressive book will change that. I can’t recommend this compassionate and effective modality strongly enough. If you are looking for an experiential method that creates real change in unconscious beliefs and behaviors in a collaborative and non-pathologizing way, Hakomi is that method. This book is also timely to what is going on now in the fields of neuroscience, trauma, attachment theory and emotional regulation. The multiple authors create a coherent and articulate volume that I hope becomes a doorway for many into this transformative practice.
- As a Hakomi trainer, I have been waiting for this book for a long time. Hakomi has been passed on from person to person for decades. It is one the earliest psychotherapies to incorporate mindfulness into the therapeutic process and yet has remained largely unknown despite the meteoric rise of mindfulness as a healing modality.
But now it's time has come. Despite its age, the Hakomi method offers methods for integrating mindfulness directly into the flow of the therapeutic process that remain cutting edge. The method is no longer ahead of its time. It is timely. Now that psychotherapy as a field has broadly accepted mindfulness as a healing technique, the next question is, "If mindfulness is a given, what, specifically, can we do with it during therapy sessions?" Over the past 30 years Ron Kurtz and the Hakomi trainers who came up under him have been honing and developing their answers to this question. Now that the question is ripe, the time for this book has come.
This is an ambitious and successful volume that seeks to both present useful tools to therapists and also to define Hakomi's rightful place in the larger psychotherapeutic dialogue. In this volume are chapters that tie Hakomi to the theoretical bases of psychotherapy, developmental psychology, neurobiology, Buddhist psychology, and systems theory. It then goes on to offer practical tools for utilizing the therapeutic tools Hakomi has to offer with a special focus on Hakomi's use of mindfulness to gain access to the underlying organizing structure of conscious experience.
I very much appreciate that this book is written from the individual viewpoints of a number of different Hakomi trainers. Through their overlapping narratives a mosaic appears that defines gives three-dimensional, living portrait of what Hakomi is. And, as a Western practitioner of Hakomi currently working in Taiwan and China, I am especially taken by the Hakomi method's synthesis of both Eastern and Western thought. This is not a hegemonic, Western approach, but an approach that works respectfully across cultures.
I am excited that the Hakomi method will now reach a larger audience and no longer be confined to the cognoscenti who have been lucky enough to come across this method by word of mouth. - The world is finally catching up to Hakomi. This wonderful method of therapy that has been growing and being refined since the 1970's is now being presented in an organized, articulate and well referenced volume that emulates the depth, humanity and elegance of it's teaching and practices. The content is accessible and can be grasped by anyone who has a mind to read it. It adds a definite perspective into the discussion of what is relevant psychotherapy and in ethics. As a current student of Hakomi, I can readily say that it has already enhanced my learning. It is exciting to see that the worlds of neuroscience, Mindfulness, dharma and psychology have established a confluence that has been in the DNA of Hakomi and is now becoming more visible to the mainstream. I wish to thank the devoted team of people who put this book together. Highly recommended!
- Wow. I am so impressed by this book. When I first encountered Hakomi, I knew that I had stumbled upon something deep, powerful, and important for the spiritual awakening and psychological work that I was already doing with clients and with myself. 9 months and a Hakomi professional training later, my love and gratitude for Hakomi has only grown. This book embodies the qualities that I experienced learning Hakomi with some of its senior-most teachers a great mind-heart intelligence, a clear pedagogy, a radically integrative approach to the art and science of healing, a true respect for the ways that humans become limited and the journey back toward greater fullness, a commitment to present moment experience. Interspersing case studies with discussions of underlying principles, method, theory, and relevant science, this book serves as a comprehensive guide to doing awesome therapy.
- Though I have been reading this slowly since it first came out, I have gained so many helpful skills and insights from this book less than halfway in. I have been studying Hakomi for the past five years and am so grateful to the many writers of this book for this wonderful guidebook. Each chapter focuses on a different aspect of the method, from the core principles to specific skills and the model of character structure. The appendix has case studies that I've found particularly helpful in my work. Highly recommended!
- Very clear, comprehensive and systematic. Both the theoretical framework and micro skills could be grasped easily by reading this book. It can be a very hand-off reference on the shelf. Highly recommended for those who would integrate mindfulness in psychotherapy.
- Powerful, Insightful, Mindful and Loving. An incredible healing modality that addresses body/mind challenges with loving kindness.
- Hakomi is a profound and effective method of somatic psychotherapy. This book clearly articulates the principles and healing power of Hakomi.
Ron Kurtz, the founder of the method, would be proud.
