Reflections on a two-day conference entitled ‘Body & Mind – One Entity’ (19–20 September, 2023 @ Oslo Metropolitan University, Institute of Physiotherapy.)

Abstract

As I have been working with Berit Bunkan on a book about her method of Norwegian Body Psychotherapy, I was delighted to be invited to attend this weekend conference in Oslo to experience her work (and that of others) more closely. Herein, I have tried to give BMDP readers a flavour of this event.
