“Psychosomatic illness” books examine how thoughts, emotions, stress, and social context shape physical symptoms and health. This category spans clinical overviews of somatic symptom and related disorders; research on stress physiology, brain–body pathways, and placebo/nocebo effects; and practical guides to assessment and treatment, including cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, mind–body, and integrative approaches. It also features memoirs and narrative nonfiction that illuminate patient and clinician experiences of persistent bodily symptoms with significant psychological components. Many titles address diagnostic complexity, stigma, and the history and ethics of psychosomatic medicine, serving clinicians, students, and general readers seeking a deeper understanding of the mind–body connection.
