Imunitatea psihică

Imunitatea psihica looks at how people guard against harm from others. Christophe Massin looks at abuse in close ties. He also looks at work that asks too much. He asks how false news can shape people's views. Some people say nothing when others hurt them. Others lash out or blame themselves.

This book on psychology is for readers who seek to grasp these ways of coping. Massin links the mind's defences to the body's immune system. He asks how people can set limits without hurting others. He also looks at children who shut out their feelings. They do this to cope with a parent's distress. These ways of coping can cut them off from feelings. They can also leave them full of anger.

Massin is a psychiatrist. He has spent 30 years in psychotherapy practice. Laura Matei translated this Romanian edition from French.
