Title
From Psychosomatics To Somasemiotics: Felt Sense And The Sensed Body In Medicine And Psychotherapy
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Semiotics Is The Study Of Signs Or Signifiers Such As Words. Psychotherapists Seek To Understand Or Interpret The Verbal And Behavioural Signs Of An Individuals Emotional Disease. Medical Physicians And Psychiatrists Seek To Diagnose Both Bodily And Behavioural Symptoms As Signs Of Some Organic Disease Or Disorder. In Doing So However, They Make No Semiotic Distinction Between The Medically Signified Sense Of An Individuals Symptoms And Their Directly Felt Or Sensed Significance Comparable To The Felt Sense Or Meaning Of A Word. Drawing On The Work Of Martin Heidegger, Jakob Von Uexkll, Viktor Von Weizscker, Luis Chiozza, Arnold Mindell And Others, Peter Wilberg Brings Out In An Original Way The Profound Medical As Well As Psychotherapeutic Implications Of Eugene Gendlins Method Of Focusing With Its Key Concept Of Felt Sense The Recognition That Meaning Or Sense Is Something That Can Itself Be Felt Or Sensed In An Immediate Bodily Way, Exploring In Particular The Relational Dimension Of Bodily Sensing. Somasemiotics Is Rooted In The Principle That, As Signs And Like Dreams Somatic Illnesses Are An Experience And Expression Of Lived And Felt Meanings Rather Than Simply A Result Of Organic, Biological, Psychosocial, Or Psychosomatic Causes. A Somasemiotic Understanding Of Illness Can Help Both Counsellors, Therapists And Medical Professionals To Used Their Own Felt Body To Wordlessly Sense And Resonate A Patients Felt Disease, Thus Coming To Feel Its Meaning Or Sense Directly Rather Than Seeking Only To Signify That Sense Through Medical Terms Or Talking Cures. Consequently Somasemiotics Also Offers A New Foundation For Overcoming The Ongoing Theoretical, Institutional And Professional Separation Between Practitioners Of Psychotherapy On The One Hand And Somatic Medicine On The Other A Separation Often Maintained Even In The Personal Lives Of Psychotherapists, And Medical Practitioners.
