Psychosomatic Symptoms
Patients with psychosomatic diseases lack the capacity for emotional connection and symbolic thinking and the physical symptoms of asthma, anorexia nervosa and ulcerative colitis have been outside our domain.
Fear of Being Fat
Abstract: A reference text for physicians and psychoanalysts involved in the treatment of patients with anorexia nervosa and bulimia presents 18 papers prepared by psychoanalytically-trained psychiatrists specializing in the treatment of psychosomatic disorders. The text presents a major new hypothesis, viz.: anorexia nervosa, as a diagnostic term, is a medical misnomer and should be replaced by the term "fat phobia." The 18 papers are grouped among 5 principal themes: the characteristics of predisposing factors to fat phobia; the psychodynamic structure of anorexia nervosa and bulimia; analytical relationships between anorexics and bulimics; psychoanalytical treatments; and special issues (including the derivatives of latency, the relationship between self-starvation and amenorrhea, and psychopharmacological therapy of bulimic anorexia nervosa).
From Soma to Symbol
This book traces the theoretical history of psychosomatics in psychoanalysis, and with it the ways psychoanalytically-trained clinicians have tried to understand and treat patients with complex psychosomatic symptoms. It offers a rethinking of the mind-body relationship in psychoanalysis, eschewing past dichotomies between the psychological and the corporeal, and today's either-or distinctions between symbolizing and non-symbolizing patients. Theoretical and clinical issues are considered from a broad and integrative perspective. Psychosomatic patients' best interests are served neither by an indiscriminate embrace of dazzling new findings, nor by discarding established ways of understanding...
Dictionary of Artists' Models
The first reference work devoted to their lives and roles, this book provides information on some 200 artists' models from the Renaissance to the present day.

This will prove an invaluable reference work for art historians, librarians, museum and gallery curators, as well as students and researchers.

Cherchez la femme
Throughout history, the most fundamental values at the basis of societal organization and culture were determined and sanctified almost exclusively by men—including the values traditionally associated with women, such as corporeal beauty, purity, motherhood, or empathy. However, from ancient times, and increasingly toward the end of the second millennium, women have succeeded in finding ways to overcome such limits and have made their contributions to the revision of values and to the establishment of new ones. Cherchez la femme offers a selection of essays inquiring into the nature of aesthetic, linguistic, cultural, and social values created, informed, or reformed by women in the French-speaking world, as well as studies on how the discourse of (male) power used female figures to strengthen its own position. With topics ranging in time from Semiramis’s ancient legend to today, and in space from Québec to Haiti, metropolitan France, and New Caledonia, the volume shares the richness and fruitfulness of the female perspective in art, culture, theory, and political action.
