 | Lowen develops the holding into bioenergetic analysis. Character structure is an organized survival system: tensions coordinate so a person gets the safety they feel they need, rather than a scattered set of tight muscles.

Core science
First published in 1958 as Physical Dynamics of Character Structure, later issued as The Language of the Body. Clinical lineage, not an imaging result and not a disease theory. The claim to keep is the organization: posture, breath, and manner can do one job together.
Application
Open when a tension is always on and dulls contact, and you need the neighbouring map rather than a new diagnosis. Pair with Character armor for the dose: remove one layer, not the whole pattern in one sitting.
