Dr. Alexander Lowen, um estudante de Wilhelm Reich nos anos 1940 e início dos anos 1950 em Nova York, desenvolveu a psicoterapia mente-corporal conhecida como análise bioenergética com seu então colega John Pierrakos. Ele é o fundador primeiro diretor-executivo do International Institute for Bioenergetic Analysis - (Instituto Internacional de Análise Bioenergética) localizado na cidade de Nova Iorque.
Dr. Lowen received a bachelor's degree in science and business from City College of New York and continued on to receive an LLB from Brooklyn Law School. His interest in the link between the mind and the body developed during this time, and he ultimately enrolled in a class on character analysis with Wilhelm Reich. After training to be a therapist himself, Lowen moved to Switzerland to attend the University of Geneva, which awarded him an M.D. in June, 1951.
Dr. Lowen currently lives and practices in New Canaan, Connecticut.
Ao decorrer de sua carreira, Dr. Lowen já publicou 14 livros, incluindo The Language of the Body in 1958, seguido por Love and Orgasm (1965), The Betrayal of the Body,(1967) Pleasure (1970), Bioenergetics (1976), Depression and the Body (1977), Fear of Life (1980), Narcissism (1984), Love, Sex and Your Heart (1988), The Spirituality of the Body (1990), Joy (1995), Honoring the Body (2004), e The Voice of the Body (2005). Com sua esposa Leslie ele escreveu The Way to Vibrant Health: A Manual of Bioenergetic Exercises em 1977. Although a number of his books had gone out of print, they are all now being republished by Bioenergetics Press in association with The Florida Society for Bioenergetic Analysis. Lowen published his autobiography Honoring the Body: The Autobiography of Alexander Lowen, M.D. at age 93.
