About the Book:
Originally developed from a series of BBC radio talks, this short volume explains in plain, accessible language how emotional conflicts influence physical well-being. Harry Guntrip explores the link between mind and body, the role of psychotherapy, and the stigma surrounding nervous conditions. Designed both for students and for the general reader, the book aims to banish fear and shame surrounding mental distress and to demonstrate how modern understanding and treatment can restore balance.
About the Author:
Harry Guntrip (B.D., Ph.D.) was a Fellow of the British Psychological Society and Lecturer in Psychiatry at the University of Leeds. A respected psychotherapist and theorist, he is associated with the British Object-Relations School, extending the work of Fairbairn and Winnicott. His other publications include Healing the Sick Mind and Personality Structure and Human Interaction.
Scholarly Orientation / Contextual Note:
A lucid and humane synthesis of mid-twentieth-century psychoanalytic and pastoral psychology. Guntrip occupies a pivotal position between clinical psychoanalysis and religious humanismhis background as both theologian and psychotherapist made his work appealing to clergy and lay counsellors alike. The style is unmistakably practical rather than doctrinal: language simplified for a public emerging from post-war reserve about emotional illness.
