Dr. Alexander Lowen (born December 23 1910) is an American psychotherapist. A student of Wilhelm Reich's in the 1940s and early 1950s in New York, he developed the mind-body psychotherapy, a form of body psychotherapy known as Bioenergetic Analysis with his then-colleague, John Pierrakos. Lowen is also the founder and former executive director of the [http://www.bioenergetic-therapy.com/ International Institute for Bioenergetic Analysis] in New York City.

Born in New York City, Lowen received a bachelor's degree in science and business from City College of New York and an LLB from Brooklyn Law School. His interest in the link between the mind and the body developed during this time, and he 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.

Lowen lived and practiced for the majority of his life in New Canaan, Connecticut. He suffered a stroke in July 2006.

In April 2007, [http://www.lowenfoundation.org "The Alexander Lowen Foundation"] was founded to continue Dr. Lowen's legacy.
