A rigorous and groundbreaking study. Martine Derzelle is the
first researcher to approach hypochondria as a relational
pathology. Martine Derzelle is the first researcher to approach
hypochondria as a relational pathology.
The author tackles a subject that has puzzled care professionals
for decades: hypochondria. Martine Derzelle confronts all
specialists (psychotherapists, psychiatrists, doctors,
psychosomaticians) with the paradox of this pathology and the
theoretical void on which the approach to those patients who
express a suffering of various kinds has stood for more than a
century.
In the first part, the author highlights the lack of theoretical
elaboration on hypochondria in the existent literature; in the
second part, on the basis of clinical examples, she analyzes the
nature of the disease, and then offers a completely innovative
theoretical elaboration. Finally, in the third part, she proposes a
new and specific approach to treating this pathology at both the
theoretical and clinical levels within the framework of
psychoanalysis and implementing key concepts from relational
psychosomatics.
