This text is a practical application of Foucault's archaeological
and genealogical methods to the study of illness and modernity. It
unravels the complex relationships that exist between the various
types of discourses which have been engaged in the vast field of
"psychosomatic" research since the early decades of the 20th
century. From medicine and psychiatry to psychology and the social
sciences, Monica Greco explores what the history of these different
disciplines contributes to what we understand by the term
"psychosomatic". She analyses how the study of psychosomatic
illness can transform the way we think of illness, subjectivity and
the ethics and politics of health, thus revealing the complex
phenomenon of psychosomatics in all its ethical and political
ramifications.
