Integrative Body Psychotherapy (IBP) was founded by Dr. Jack Lee Rosenberg, further developed with Diana Asay, a Jungian Analyst, and Dr. Marjorie Rand, and formally presented to the public as a new therapeutic approach in their book, Body, Self and Soul - Sustaining Integration (1985). IBP combines the most effective aspects of Psychoanalysis, Object Relations Theory, Gestalt therapy, Reichian therapy, Self Psychology, Bioenergetics (Bioenergetic analysis), Transpersonal Psychotherapy, Yoga and Eastern theories and practices into a highly efficient implementation system for psychotherapy.
Today there are 14 regional IBP Institutes spanning the globe, including the U.S., Canada, Switzerland, Germany, and Belgium. In Switzerland and Canada, IBP is approved by state authorities as the first method of body psychotherapy. The different IBP Institutes are members of the U.S. Association for Body Psychotherapy (USABP), and the European Association for Body Psychotherapy (EABP)
