Krankheit als Symbol

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

Ruediger Dahlke views illness as a meaningful occurrence, a way for the soul to bring unresolved emotional conflicts into consciousness. To achieve this, it is necessary 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 handbook lists - now with a largely comprehensive claim - hundreds of medical conditions with thousands of symptoms. It provides self-help assistance and enables users to take on learning tasks that the medical conditions indicate, with personal responsibility. With its editing and resolution tips, as well as suggestions for guided meditations and films, it becomes a form of self-directed psychotherapy.
