Bioenergetic Analysis, the Clinical journal of the IIBA is published annually and is distributed to all members of the international organization. Its purpose is to further elaborate theoretical and scientific concepts and to make links to enhance communication and broaden our connection with other schools of therapy, as well as with academic psychology, medicine, and other psychosomatic schools of thought. The journal publishes reports on empirical research, theoretical papers, and case studies. Some local IIBA societies produce journals in their native languages. This journal has been published in English since 1985, making it the oldest journal for the IIBA.

This current volume contains tributes to three IIBA trainers who died in 2012 and one review of a self-care book written by a pediatrician, who is also a Bioenergetic therapist. There are five original papers, each from authors of different countries. Elaine Tuccillo writes about the legacy of intergenerational emotional abuse. Garry Cockburn provides concepts to help train the next generation of Bioenergetic students. Margherita Giustiniani presents a variation technique for using the Bioenergetic stool. Christa Ventling explores the use of the word »energy« in Bioenergetics. Arild Hafstad introduces the concept of tensegrity structures in relation to gravity and grounding in Bioenergetics.
