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.
Domestic Individualism
Gillian Brown explores the key relationship between domestic ideology and formulations of the self in 19th-century America. Arguing that domesticity not only presumes but institutes distinctions of gender, class, and race, Brown reveals how these distinctions in turn inform identity. She offers a new reading of writings by Stowe, Hawthorne, Melville, Fern, and Gilman.

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).
