    Abstract

    This chapter provides some background to the book, a section on embodied knowing, another section on the definition of embodiment, some reflections on important assumptions on embodiment research and a section on the four levels of embodiment, which are embodied, enactive, embedded and extended. The next section illustrates the implications of the theoretical discourse to the application of it in clinical practice. An overview of the two disciplines is given next. Firstly, dance movement psychotherapy and second body psychotherapy together with a note on their neuroscientific and neurobiological underpinnings. Finally, an insight into the chapters is presented.
