Pathologies of the Mind/Body Interface: Exploring the Curious Domain of the Psychosomatic Disorders

"Kradin's unique perspective, as both a researching physician and a psychoanalyst, reminds one of the compassionate and courageous Freud, trusting the symptoms, even the psychosomatic ones, to lead us to a necessary understanding of the patient." - Joseph Coppin PhD, Chair, Department of Depth Psychology, Pacifica Graduate Institute, California "This is a highly readable and multi-dimensional review of an important cluster of human conditions encountered in medical practice that account for much human suffering and societal expense. In this exceptional new book Dr. Kradin, a medical scientist and psychoanalyst, provides us with pragmatic and insightful counsel." - Gregory Fricchione, MD, Associate Chief of Psychiatry; Director, Benson Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine at MGH; Director, Division of Psychiatry and Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital; Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School
