The book is grounded upon the author's extensive professional
involvement with physical diseases that are a powerful expression
of the patients' emotional themes and life-stories. They are
meaning-full diseases. They occur commonly, and are the most
compelling argument for an urgent acknowledgment of the role of
meanings in the healing process. Following the pattern of his first
book, Somatic Illness and the Patient's Other Story, the author
shows in case after case that listening and responding to the
"story" of patients suffering from persistent physical diseases
frequently leads to major reversal of the disease processes. This
present book takes a crucial second step. There must be an
understandable basis for meaning-full diseases. Resistance to them
relates in part to the inability of current Western scientific and
biomedical theories to explain them. The author sets out to
construct conceptual frameworks, within which clinicians and
patients can see that a close relationship between life experience
and the appearance of physical disease really does make sense.
