Archetypal Medicine

Dr. Ziegler re-reads asthma, skin disease, heart attacks, anorexia, rheumatism, and chronic pain from a psychological perspective. He challenges the philisophical basis of traditional medicine and charges that the current excessive interest in health betrays our nature, thereby opening the way to an understanding of the meaning concealed in the body's sufferings. His clear and elegantly simple style is packed with case examples and medical data.
