This book for me is sort of an ongoing refference for private and professional use. This book is polarizing and for me personally it stands between 2.5 and 3 stars, probably closer to 2.5.
While most of Dahlke's writing about the link between "body (soma) and soul (psyche)" is fascinating, and in many cases applicabale to real life cases, I cannot get over the flaws of this book. For me these are the following:
1. Dahlke's absolute belief in God, spirituality (esoteric in the worst sense) and the many references to bible passages or biblical scenarios.
2. While I can agree with some of his points about the constant changes to disease guidelines (most polarizing example: depression after the death of the lifelong partner), I find it show more insulting and condescending how he handles some of the more recently discovered or changed diseases: if you were to believe him, most of us affected with more recent diagnoses are simply slaves to our inner voices that tell us to slack, be lazy, overeat, pick our skins, be in pain 24/7, and so on.
So overall for patients I would NOT recommend this book, but instead refer to his work [book:The Healing Power of Illness: Understanding What Your Symptoms Are Telling You|705062] or pick up some of the patient workbooks available from oxford Press or other outlets if you really can't be bothered with Dahlke.
I can appreciate many parts of this book, while other parts just alienate me and make me want to question my judgement for spending money on this book. show less

Rudiger Dahlke entende a doença como um fenômeno repleto de sentido - um caminho para a alma levar à consciência conflitos não solucionados. Para isso, é preciso entender o significado oculto dos sintomas, ou seja, decifrar a mensagem da doença. Nesta pequena enciclopédia, estão relacionadas mais 400 de doenças com cerca de 1000 sintomas ligados a elas. Ela oferece meios para a pessoa ajudar a si mesma, fazendo com que assuma a responsabilidade pelas tarefas de aprendizado que as doenças lhe sugerem.
O livro nada mais é do que uma pequena enciclopédia de psicossomática, excelente para consultas rápidas e como apoio ao outro livro do autor, "A Doença como Caminho". Porém o livro não traz apenas a raiz psicossomática de cada doença, traz também seu simbolismo, significado, e indica o que deve ser mudado em sua vida para eliminar a doença de vez. Simples e ótimo.
