520 _a "Psyche and Soma is a multi-disciplinary exploration of the conceptions of the human soul or mind and body, through the course of more than two thousand years of Western history. Thirteen specially commissioned chapters, each written by a recognized expert, discuss figures such as the physicians Hippocrates, Galen, Stahl, and Cabanis; theologians St. Paul, Augustine, and Aquinas; and philosophers from Plato and Aristotle to Descartes, Leibniz and La Mettrie. The chapters explore in chronological sequence the views of these writers on such questions as the soul's immortality, the control it exerts over the body, how mental disturbances arise out of bodily imbalances, and the roles of the priest and the physician in promoting spiritual and mental health."--BOOK JACKET.
