Maggiori informazioni sul libro

In recent years, Europe has experienced significant political and societal changes, impacting individuals and various social groups, with implications for personal health and the healthcare system. This book features contributions from physicians, psychologists, and psychotherapists from both Eastern and Western countries, analyzing the cultural and social influences on health and disease in light of these developments. Psychosomatic medicine and psychotherapy are particularly tasked with integrating these influences into their theories, practices, and educational frameworks. The articles within provide insights into current trends in these fields and foster discussions on new medical models. The collection includes revised papers from the 1st Baltic Sea Conference on Psychosomatics and Psychotherapy, held in Kiel in September 1992. This conference marked a pivotal moment for collaboration among scientists from former socialist countries and the Western world following political changes, establishing a tradition of exchange. The book serves as both a scientific and historical document, reflecting the dynamic period of its creation.
