Family Influences and Psychosomatic Illness

<p><strong>Tavistock Press</strong> was established as a co-operative venture between the <strong>Tavistock Institute</strong> and <strong>Routledge & Kegan Paul</strong> (RKP) in the 1950s to produce a series of major contributions across the social sciences. <br> This volume is part of a 2001 reissue of a selection of those important works which have since gone out of print, or are difficult to locate. Published by <strong>Routledge,</strong> 112 volumes in total are being brought together under the name <em>The International Behavioural and Social Sciences Library: Classics from the Tavistock Press</em>.<br> Reproduced here in facsimile, this volume was originally published in 1958 and is available individually. The collection is also available in a number of themed mini-sets of between 5 and 13 volumes, or as a complete collection.</p> PREFACE, I INTRODUCTORY, II THE FAMILIES OF THREE ULCER PATIENTS, III FAMILY LIFE AND DUODENAL ULCERSOME HYPOTHESES, IV THE MOTHERS' NATAL FAMILIES AND PERSONALITIES, V THE MOTHERS' ATTITUDES TO THE UPBRINGING OF THEIR CHILDREN, VI THE FATHERS, VII THE MARRIAGES OF THE PARENTS, VIII THE CHILDHOOD OF THE YOUNG MEN, IX THE FAMILIES-THEIR FUNCTIONING AND COHESION, X SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS, APPENDICES, INDEX
