Book Reviews of Theaters Of The Body: A Psychoanalytic Approach to Psychosomatic Illness
Book Review: Another Joyce McDougall's masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
Joyce McDougall's personal perspective on mind-body interrelatedness and psychoanalysis maker her one of the most prolific authors in the field. You can trace the deep influence of Winnicott's theories and various french authors (such as J.Laplanche, A.Green and J.Lacan) on her work, moving from clinical observations to metapsychological explorations. Her main proposal, desafection as an alternative mechanism to repression or forclusion in the patient's dinamics and psychosomatic economy, is a major (and quite controversial)contribution to previous approaches on somatization.
Her style is fluid (unlike "The Many Faces of Eros", which centers on technical issues), including plenty of clinical vignettes and personal experiences.
A "must have" for anyone interested in somatization and psychosomatic phenomenon, specially for those in therapeutic field.
