On the Psychotherapy of Chronic Diseases


By Shmuel Hazanovitz (Israel)

This book contains a critique of my understanding of Freud’s Mind-Body model and its needed correction in the area of the therapy for chronic diseases. The critique is done through a discussion that was held between a prominent Israeli philosopher and myself. The  second chapter of the book contains the implications of that understanding in the case of Schreber’s psychosis.
