About This Item
New York: Free Press, 1993. 1st ed.. Hardback octavo, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), figures, faint foxing top edge & reverse side jacket. 247 pp. First English edition. Drawing on exciting new work on such topics as stress and immune function, the author offers the first lively and accessible but scientific and up-to-date introduction to the interaction of mind and body in health and wellness. This is a fascinating history of psychosomatic medicine in which he details some of the strange theories about the body once held to be true. There is a profound and legitimate need for a different model of the relationship between stress and disease that cares for the whole patient. Advocates the belief that this goal is at hand, provided we are ready to accept complexity and deal with it by adopting a systems perspective of health instead of taking refuge in a fairy-land populated with fuzzy concepts such as "stress", "holistic medicine", and "healing powersâ. (Translated from the French.).
