Psychosomatics and Psychotherapy. Healing of the Soul and Body. 9th Edition, Revised and Expanded

Why does the heart hurt when the soul is heavy? How to distinguish ordinary fatigue from the body's signal of deep exhaustion? Many diseases are based not only on physiology but also on hidden emotional conflicts.
The psychological state of a person and their body constitute an inseparable unity. Often, the cause of physical ailments is precisely psychological distress. To eliminate psychosomatic disorders, one must learn to understand the body’s "language" of the psyche.
In this guide, famous psychotherapist G.V. Starshenbaum offers a universal decoding of the "language" of the psyche and provides recommendations for diagnosing both traditional psychosomatic diseases (hypertensive, ischemic, ulcerative, etc.) and identifying disturbances in nutrition, sleep, and sexual life, psychogenic dysfunctions of internal organs, as well as hysterical, hypochondriacal, and depressive somatic syndromes. The book, based on real clinical cases from the author's practice, has gone through eight editions and will be of interest to both novice psychologists and psychotherapists, as well as those who want to understand their symptoms or are simply interested in psychology.
