Rezensionen / Stimmen
This is an interesting historical review of classic psychosomatic articles, significant for their hypotheses and conclusions and for their experimental designs. The collection reminds the reader that exploring the historical development of psychosomatic medicine uncovers not only knowledge still pertinent today, but also discoveries that led to further investigations. These articles emphasize the significance of understanding psychosomatic medicine as a multidisciplinary and dynamic view of health and illness. * Doody's Journal * For all those looking to understand the field, and also respectful of its legacy, this is a valuable book. It is easy to see this tidy volume regularly plucked for the bookshelves of teachers and mentors in psychosomatic medicine to stimulate and encourage the next generation of searchers. * General Hospital Psychiatry *
