A psychological and spiritual interpretation of illness in which Thorwald Dethlefsen and Rüdiger Dahlke explore symptoms as symbolic expressions of inner conflict, presenting sickness as something that can be examined for personal meaning rather than understood only in physical terms.

Translated by Peter Lemesurier, the book challenges conventional ideas about illness and links bodily symptoms with psychological patterns, self-examination and personal development. Its medical and psychological claims reflect the authors' interpretive framework and should not be treated as a substitute for professional healthcare advice.
