Dear EABP Members, Colleagues, and Friends,


We are very sad to hear that a very long-standing member of EABP, Berit Heir Bunkan, has died.

Berit was an important figure in body psychotherapy in Northern Europe. Coming from the Braatøy and Bülow-Hansen method of psychomotor physiotherapy, she worked as a teacher, body psychotherapist and writer of several books all her life.

Her enormous vitality struck all who can in contact with her. EABP will not be quite the same without her.

Call for Volunteers: Peer Reviewers for IBPJ

Kalina Raycheva from the editorial team of IBPJ is reaching out to recruit more peer reviewers for the journal. This is a voluntary, casual role, and most peer reviewers don’t review every submission but take turns. The more peer reviewers we have, the less work it is for each individual.

Being a peer reviewer for IBPJ can be a significant career move, enhancing your confidence in your knowledge, competency, and ability to integrate theory with practice. If you're interested in joining this call for volunteers, please contact the EABP Secretariat to receive Kalina Raycheva’s contact details.

This is a wonderful opportunity to contribute to the field while gaining valuable professional experience!

Our Story

The European Association for Body Psychotherapy [EABP] is the accrediting organisation for Body Psychotherapists and the established authority in its field. Body Psychotherapy is on the cutting edge of health professions including body and movement therapies, verbal psychotherapies and the medical world. EABP envisions that one day, people will come to see psychotherapy as the natural choice for those seeking an integrated approach to improving their wellbeing.

EABP members are active in both public institutions and private practice, including areas of trauma and crisis. The Association works all over the world to develop professional skills, support research and promote publications. Through dialogue and exchange, it encourages members to bring about a cross-fertilization of methods and theory. In this way, EABP inspires health professionals to join an awareness shift – to see and experience health and aliveness from a perspective, where body and mind are aspects of one phenomenon.

The EABP is a dynamic organisation that values dignity, ethics and transparency, respects diversity and practices inclusiveness. The EABP stands for quality and has made aliveness its hallmark.
