Freud and body are located close to each other: The concepts of psychoanalysis refer to the connection to the physical and require a differentiated conception of the mind-body relationship. Starting with Freud comments on actual neurosis, questions arise on the development of psychopathology, psychodynamics and treatment technology. First of all, the conceptual developments are examined in general terms before diagnosis, classification and specific disease teaching are handled. The volume concludes with treatment settings, social aspects of psychosomatics and exemplary research fields.
