Summary

This book examines the field of early emotions and the fact that the human body has frequently been excluded from psychological and relational processes. The widely held view that any illness or difficulty should be classified as either 'mental' or 'physical' has long been predominant. Central to the book is an examination of the ways in which the unconscious life of the mind expresses itself through a woman's body, and conversely, the manner in which the body's experiences impinge upon the mind.
