- Summary:
- Should the category of affective disorders be enlarged to encompass selected somatic disorders? This book presents a psychoanalytic investigation of ways in which distorted affects can find symptomatic expression in such disorders as psoriasis, asthma, headache and cerebrovascular disease, and diabetes. The authors identify an unconscious fantasy specific to each such disorder and trace its links to pathophysiology, language and myth, and character.
