Body and body psychotherapy in the global village.The reality of the global village affects body psychotherapy strongly, challenging traditional basic concepts such as "nature", "body", or "personal identity". The essay inquires into these changes, dwelling on the following three aspects: a) the concepts of "body" and "nature" in the woks of the founders of body psychotherapy; b) the impact of advanced tecnology and virtual communication on these concepts; c) the task of body psychotherapy today: raising awareness for the value of "nature", both the external nature surrounding us and our internal, bodily nature, even if this "nature" con no longer be taken as an actuality, but has become an object of our choices and lifestyles.
Keywords: Body psychotherapy, global village, nature, choice
