Toute psychothérapie, qui touche à l'âme et au corps et qui se veut novatrice, doit entraîner une autre vision de la thérapeutique. Cet ouvrage entend montrer qu'à partir de la relation donnée, il est possible de créer des méthodes psychothérapiques nouvelles pour prendre soin des personnes présentant une pathologie psycho- somatique à un moment crucial de leur vie. Psychothérapies qui ne s'avèrent efficaces que parce qu'elles constituent avant tout des moyens de faire des découvertes, dans le sens de la connaissance de l'autre. Disons-le clairement il ne s'agit pas ici d'appliquer une méthode, au risque de s'enfermer dans la redondance, mais plutôt de créer pour que chacun, selon ce qu'il fait, ce qu'il est, apporte librement sa contribution. Et il est important que tout cela aboutisse à un ensemble où peuvent se reconnaître l'unité et la diversité d'une seule et même situation relationnelle. Si, d'un bout à l'autre de ces travaux, l'affect et la pathologie psychosomatique constituent le fil conducteur de toute visée thérapeutique, il y a là comme une manière de restituer à la relation et à la conscience onirique une place qui doit lui revenir, mais que ne cesse d'occulter une adaptation s'effectuant à l'intérieur d'un contexte socioculturel marqué par le banal.

This book is a contribution to the understanding of psychosomatic health problems. Inspired by the work of the French phenomenologist Maurice Merleau-Ponty, a phenomenological theory of psychosomatics is worked out as an alternative to traditional, biomedical thinking. The patient who presents somatic symptoms with no clearly discernible lesion or dysfunction presents a problem to the traditional health care system. These symptoms are medically unexplainable, constituting an anomaly for the materialistic understanding of ill health that underlies the practice of modern medicine. The traditional biomedical model is not appropriate for understanding a number of health issues that we call “psychosomatic” and for this reason, biomedical theory and practice must be complemented by another theoretical understanding in order to adequately grasp the psychosomatic problematic. This book establishes a complementary understanding of psychosomatic ill health in terms of a non-reductionistic model allowing for the (psychosomatic) expression of the lived body. A thorough presentation of the work Merleau-Ponty is followed by the author’s application of his thinking to the phenomenon of psychosomatic pathology.

Why is this person healthy when that one is ill? The trained provider is well schooled in the roles of genetics, environment, lifestyle choices, and pure luck in individuals' well-being. But now a groundbreaking new book clearly identifies the turning points that lead from wellness to disease--and how patients can be re-routed back to health. Pathways to Illness, Pathways to Health is no simple metaphor but a powerful model for healing that views health and disease along a continuum, with patient and provider as partners on the journey. A rigorous evidence base pinpoints causal variables for illness (particularly stress-related disorders) that can be targets for change, and is the basis for recommended healthful behaviors and restorative therapies. Case histories illustrate a detailed ongoing assessment process and three progressive levels of intervention chosen from a variety of techniques and modalities, ranging from biofeedback and mindful breathing to cognitive-behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. Included in the coverage:  Genetic and psychosocial etiologies of illness. Psychophysiological aspects of stress. Guidelines for comprehensive assessment. The conceptual framework: interventions in the pathways model. Applications to common illnesses: diabetes, obesity, substance abuse, depression, anxiety, cardiovascular disease, back pain, sleep disorders, fibromyalgia, and more. Personalizing the path to health and wellness. Health psychologists, clinical psychologists, primary care physicians, nurses, medical students and residents, and practitioners in holistic health and in alternative and complementary medicine will find in Pathways to Illness, Pathways to Health a clear set of signposts leading to the future of care.
