Psychosomatic Health is an exploration of the relationship between
physical and psychological wellbeing. It draws on postmodern and
narrative theory to consider the psychosomatic processes which
underpin and enhance health. The text adopts a psychoanalytic
stance rooted in the work of D.W. Winnicott, and reviews the work
of other major psychoanalytic figures on the question of body and
mind, enabling students and practitioners to engage with a variety
of perspectives. Clearly written and well illustrated with examples
throughout, the author makes extensive use of infant observation
extracts and real-life case studies to explore the experiences of
movement and touch and their meanings for the individual. As a
basis for working effectively with psychosomatic disturbance, the
author introduces her original concept of 'body storylines'. Case
studies explain how this therapeutic approach can be used to
encourage therapists to think about their relationship to their
experiences, their use of physicality and their use of their bodies
as 'barometers of psychological change'. This broad ranging text
pulls together contemporary developments from across a range of
disciplines, including psychoanalytic theory, clinical psychology,
medicine, complementary medicine and philosophy, to demonstrate a
better understanding of clinical practice.
