Drawing on the latest medical and psychiatric research in psychosomatics, this lively, up-to-date report explores the biochemistry of emotion to explain in non-technical language the mechanisms by which physical symptoms can arise in response to prolonged mental conflicts. . . . One of the most compelling findings reported in this book is that people with certain character traits are likely to suffer from particular illnesses. Peptic ulcer sufferers commonly hunger for love. Some types of cancer are linked to feelings of hopelessness and despair.
