Research, in the field of Body Psychotherapy is increasing, spurred on by the work of individual researchers, some in private practice, others working within a university system, and by some the work being done in the field of neuroscience.

Check out what has already been done – The evidence-base for Body Psychotherapy.

The EABP Science and Research Committee works hard to promote research in Body Psychotherapy, and they continue to organize a regular Research Symposium as part of the bi-annual EABP Congress. Their work has also revolved around encouraging more awareness of a science and research culture amongst practitioners in our profession.

While there has not been any funding so far for bigger research projects, the committee has been concentrating on a Case Study project. They have established a set of EABP Case Study Guidelines, presented case studies at a congress symposium, and recently (Sept. 2018) sponsored a new book on Body Psychotherapy Case Studies in collaboration with Body Psychotherapy Publications.

They have also initiated a questionnaire on research awareness (with over 400 responses). The results of this survey has been written up in the International Body Psychotherapy Journal Volume 1 Spring 2019.
