Jsem z tebe nemocný - Aneb jak partnerské vztahy ovlivňují naše zdraví – Tepperwein Kurt (2018)

The renowned author Kurt Tepperwein first addresses the significance of relationships in the first part of the book, so that we can understand how they relate to health and what meaning they hold. We learn a lot from relationships, as they are a proverbial mirror for us. The second part consists of three clear alphabetically arranged lists or indexes. The first contains typical relationship problems with explanations of their backgrounds and advice or guidance on how to resolve them. Communication, sexuality, loneliness, desire for a partner and love, on the other hand, fear of losing freedom and oneself, fear of rejection or being abandoned; breakup and how to cope with it; money, everyday life; jealousy, fidelity... The next index consists of negative mental states and feelings with a brief explanation of what they actually are, how they manifest in relationships, and what the possible consequences for health are (in case these feelings persist long-term and we do not address, ignore, or suppress them). Finally, the third index describes specific diseases and their symptoms; it explains them in terms of our emotional life and functioning in intimate relationships and advises what to do to heal ourselves – mentally and subsequently physically.
