Wenn der Körper nein sagt

A must-read for patients and doctors: It can save lives. – Peter Levine, bestselling author

Can a person literally die from loneliness? Is there a connection between the ability to express emotions and Alzheimer’s? Is there such a thing as a "cancer personality"?

The book "When the Body Says No" by Dr. Gabor Maté draws on scientific research and the author's decades of experience as a practicing physician. It provides answers to these and other important questions regarding the significance of the mind-body connection in relation to illness and health, as well as the role that stress, stress management, and individual emotional states play in many common diseases.

Smart and easily understandable, the author delivers:
Answers on the role of the mind-body connection in diseases such as arthritis, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, irritable bowel syndrome, and multiple sclerosis
Numerous insightful case studies and stories of well-known figures like Betty Ford (breast cancer), Ronald Reagan (Alzheimer’s), and Lance Armstrong (testicular cancer)
7 principles for the prevention and healing of diseases

"When the Body Says No" imparts new knowledge and improves the healing chances for those affected. It teaches that, in the face of illness, the body eventually says no to what the mind does not even perceive.
