Finished Business: A Neuropsychoanalytic Account of Recovery from Complex Trauma, Fibromyalgia, and an Eating Disorder
An extended case study of a recovery from difficult-to-understand medical conditions, Patrick Dust's Finished Business: A Neuropsychoanalytic Account of Recovery from Complex Trauma, Fibromyalgia, and an Eating Disorder will help researchers and clinicians who want to provide practical, evidence-based treatment for trauma-related physical illnesses. More importantly, patients afflicted with psychosomatic illness, especially those who have experienced fibromyalgia and eating disorders, will see themselves in Dust's personal ten-year story.
Using neuropsychoanalysis, Dust confronts head-on the realities of early abuse, lost love, identity dysregulation, and physical illness. He employs cutting-edge brain science to alter his own response to trauma and help readers find their own Finished Business by engaging with the mesmerizing enigmas body/brain/mind existence.
