Does the psyche have an affect on health? The Psyche of the Body is
a passionate and well-informed plea for a Jungian version of
psychosomatic medicine and psychotherapy. Many cases of physical
illness show evidence of the effect of psychic involvement, both in
origin and treatment. Yet to date the majority of study into
psychosomatic illness has been purely empirical, with little theory
to help interpret and put results into context. Illustrated by
vivid clinical illustrations of case histories, The Psyche of the
Body reviews the long history of psychosomatic medicine and models
of the relationship between psyche and body that have evolved over
time, and presents a full revision of research in the field over
the last twenty years. It presents a much-needed theoretical model
together with practical guidelines that demonstrate how the
psychological aspects of specific illnesses should be handled in
therapy and analysis. Practicing and training Jungian analysts, as
well as all those involved in clinical treatment, will find the
interdisciplinary approach to psychosomatic medicine promoted in
this book fascinating reading.
