My Body and I – Friend or Foe?

Seemann, H. (2011) My Body and I – Friend or Foe? Understanding Psychosomatic Disorders. Patient Guide from the series Leben! With practice CD. Stuttgart: Klett-Cotta.

You are "organically healthy," but still suffer from unbearable pain or another physical ailment? Then you should learn to hear and pay attention to the language of your symptoms.

Drawing from her extensive knowledge of the delicate interplay between body and psyche, Hanne Seemann explains how functional disorders arise, what symptoms are trying to say, what they demand from us, and most importantly: how the friendship with your own body can be restored.

Exercises on the accompanying audio CD make practical implementation easier.
