Benoit:Körpersymbole und Krankheiten

Only the knowledge of body symbols enables us to understand why many diseases remain chronic or even fatal despite advancements in medicine. Every person suffers the most when their actions and relationships are disturbed by their social environment. These disturbances then become the cause of their suffering and consequently the cause of their diseases. Since diseases are manifested by the body, they act as a physically expressed message, like a body language. This conclusion can be scientifically supported by the findings of linguists. By incorporating communication into somatic medicine, a concept of holistic medicine emerges. In this book, Dr. Barbara Benoit presents a medical concept that she has developed over more than 40 years through numerous case studies, initially in her work as a physician in women's health and obstetrics, and later as a psychotherapist. Confirmation of this new approach to diseases includes a spontaneous reduction of physical complaints up to complete healings that occur after the awareness of the causes of the illness.
