• Summary:"The main thesis of this work, illustrated with many clinical case studies, is that chronic pain (for which tests reveal no physical cause) invariably has its origin in a childhood which is seriously lacking in affection. The book presents a theoretical description of pain, with particular reference to Freud's ideas on the subject, and provides a detailed account of the treatment by analytical psychotherapy of patients suffering from chronic pain."--Jacket.
