Patients in psychodynamic psychotherapy do not move. At least not much. Where in bataka work they would play whack-a-mole with their family members, and in primal scream therapy (à la John Lennon and Yoko Ono) would physically empty themselves of frustration, and in cognitive behavioral therapy would confront their fears—those with elevator phobias would ride elevators, those afraid of heights climb the Empire State Building, and those with lobster phobias treat their therapists to elaborate outings to seafood restaurants—in psychodynamic psychotherapy they simply sit in their chairs and move their jaws. It is true that in addition they may occasionally cross their legs or scratch their heads or unconsciously mirror the therapist's chin-fondling. But gross motor movement? Not so much. As for psychoanalysis, well, forget it. The patient is laid out like a corpse.
This technical feature of our sedate discipline is a reflection of an unwritten but implicit postulate of our theory of mind: movement doesn't really mat
