Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen; Leichte Verformung / umgeknickte Seiten; Leichte Verschmutzung / Farbtonveränderung. \"Je reicher das Leben an Freude, Genuss und Lust, desto gesünder der Mensch.\" Neueste empirische Untersuchen aus Medizin, Biologie und Psychologie liegen dieser unorthodoxen These der beiden renommierten Autoren zugrunde.

Psychosocial factors in healing are explored in chapters that examine the social environment´s effect on susceptibility to illness, the mechanisms and implications of the placebo effect, and the ways in which social suppor.…
