Lombardi's excellent clinical work draws attention to the patient's relationship to his or her body. This approach is in synchrony with the cutting edge of contemporary neuropsychoanalytic research. Empirical studies of embodied cognition show that how we feel emotionally changes our bodily experience, and shifts in the body change how we feel emotionally. The analyst's bodily experience during a session may reflect important aspects of the transference and countertransference. Lombardi's work also exemplifies the difference between interpretation and intervention. An interpretation describes a patient's psychodynamics. An intervention can identify psychodynamics, but it also outlines for the patient a constructive way to approach a troubling experience.
