Krankheit als Symbol

For over 25 years, the long-standing bestseller in holistic medicine: Now available in a completely revised and expanded new edition.

Ruediger Dahlke views illness as a meaningful process, a way for the soul to bring unresolved emotional conflicts into consciousness. To achieve this, it is essential to understand the symbolic meanings of illness symptoms, that is, to decode their messages. This new edition of the standard work "Illness as Symbol" begins with a presentation of the philosophy and theory of integral medicine. Now fully revised for the fourth time and significantly expanded, this manual includes hundreds of medical conditions with thousands of symptoms, aiming for a comprehensive approach. It offers self-help assistance and enables users to take personal responsibility for the learning tasks indicated by the medical conditions. With its processing and resolution tips, along with suggestions for guided meditations to films, it becomes a form of self-directed psychotherapy.
