Alexithymic individuals are particularly prone to disease as a result of the faulty processing of emotions that leads to cognitive deficit in coping with stressful affects. Animated case reports on specific disorders-anorexia, arthritis, irritable bowel syndrome, even (speculatively) miscarriage-balance consideration of developmental questions and treatment issues (transference\/countertransference) and techniques. From a historical essay on Freud's view of the mind-body connection to explorations of the complicated role of trauma and PTSD, the contributions to Dr. Finell's collection demonstrate intellectual energy and clinical creativity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jason Aronson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46894313799831,"sku":"9781568216546","price":13992.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781568216546.webp?v=1770323410","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/mind-body-problems-psychotherapy-with-psychosomatic-disorders-9781568216546","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
