In this fascinating book, eminent Psychosomatician Jean Benjamin Stora outlines 15 case studies to illustrate his work in treating patients.
Examining interrelations and multicausality between different systems within the body and mind, the book features a range of patients, from those suffering from cancer and chronic pain, to those suffering from stress and alcohol addiction. It provides readers with a rich selection of case histories through which to understand the scope of psychosomatic therapy and outlines the psychoanalytic, medical, and neurological dimensions to each case.
The Psychosomatic Therapy Casebook is the perfect introduction for anyone interested in this growing area of work and will appeal especially to practicing psychotherapists, psychoanalysts and counsellors.
