Physical Holding in Psychotherapy examines the use of sustained physical holding within therapeutic practice. Drawing on forty years of clinical experience, Michelle Webster explores when and how physical holding may be used ethically and effectively within a strong therapeutic relationship.

Based on phenomenological research with former clients, the book investigates the lived experience of physical holding and the meanings clients attribute to it. Findings highlight its role in emotional contact, regression, remembering past experiences and supporting emotional healing.

Situating physical holding within a maternal paradigm, Webster considers how experiences of safety, warmth and nurturing can assist clients in working through infant and childhood trauma. Written for experienced practitioners, this book offers a thoughtful, research-informed exploration of a complex and sensitive clinical practice.
