Offered is a first printing of the 1987 W. W. Norton reissue of Franz Alexander's Psychosomatic Medicine: Its Principles and Applications, published as a Norton Professional Book (ISBN 0-393-70036-4). Alexander, founder of the Chicago Institute for Psychoanalysis and widely regarded as the father of psychosomatic medicine, first published this text in 1950; this 1987 edition reprints his original work with a new foreword by George H. Pollock, M.D., Ph.D., then President of the Institute for Psychoanalysis in Chicago. The copyright page carries the dual date "1987, 1950" and a full, unbroken number line. The book includes Therese Benedek's chapter on the functions of the sexual apparatus, and remains one of the foundational texts linking specific emotional conflicts to organic disease processes such as peptic ulcer, bronchial asthma, and rheumatoid arthritis. Condition is Very Good in similar dust jacket; clean boards and internals, firm and square binding, no writing or markings, no creased or torn pages. A well-preserved copy of an important title in the history of psychosomatic medicine and psychoanalysis. We welcome all offers and inquiries, more photos and information available upon request.
