Examines the relationship between social identity and the varieties of psychosomatic illness, tracing the interplay of cultural and biological factors in psychosomatic distress and showing why some individuals are more predisposed than others to develop chronic illness.
This is a fascinating book about how factors such as culture, age, and gender impact the kinds of "diseases" we experience. As you read the case histories both past and present, you begin to realize how much of our discomfort begins in the mind and ends up in the body. Another great book for knowing what to do with this information if you have chronic pain or other issues is "Healing Back Pain" by John Sarno. Or check Dr. David Schechter's website at mindbodymedicine.com. Amazing what historical perspective will do for your outlook!
