In Guild Lecture No. 108, physician and medical sexologist Dr. Edward F. Griffith delivers an early, insightful study on the emerging field of psychosomatic medicine from a depth-psychological perspective. Griffith challenges traditional medical dualism, demonstrating how unacknowledged emotional conflicts, repressions, and spiritual distress frequently express themselves through physical illness and bodily symptoms. Drawing on clinical medical cases and Jungian concepts, he emphasizes that genuine healing demands addressing the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—offering a visionary post-war paper on the vital intersection of medical practice, analytical psychology, and pastoral care.
