Can the way in which we relate to others seriously affect our health? Can understanding those attachments help health care providers treat us better? In Love, Fear, and Health, psychiatrists Robert Maunder and Jonathan Hunter draw on evidence from neuroscience, stress physiology, social psychology, and evolutionary biology to explain how understanding attachment – the ways in which people seek security in their close relationships – can transform patient outcomes.Using attachment theory, Maunder and Hunter provide a practical, clinically focused introduction to the influence of attachment styles on an individual’s risk of disease and the effectiveness of their interactions with health care providers. Drawing on more than fifty years of combined experience as health care providers, teachers, and researchers, they explain in clear language how health care workers in all disciplines can use this knowledge to meet their patients’ needs better and to improve their health.

Review\n“Damaged is not for the faint of heart – many events from Isaac’s past can be hard to read. But those who persist will find much to consider.” ― Publishers Weekly\n"I have been pining for this book and Maunder and Hunter did not disappoint. Like the proverbial car crash you can't stop looking at, Damaged is a book about a wounded soul whose story you must keep reading. Maunder and Hunter find the love in a patient that many of our colleagues would label 'difficult.' They connect the dots that link strength and vulnerability and those that join the psychological to the physical. With skill and humility, Maunder and Hunter tell a story about every one of us." -- Dr. Brian Goldman, emergency physician, host of CBC's White Coat, Black Art, and author of The Power of Kindness: Why Empathy is Essential in Everyday Life.\n"This book is dynamite! Damaged is a bold and profoundly important story of two doctors and of one man's monumental struggle. You will find yourself, your family, friends, and co-workers in this phenomenal read. So often the healthcare system fails the most vulnerable people when it comes to mental health. Maunder and Hunter show clearly not only how the system fails, but the revolution it will take to not just improve, but reengineer and create a structure of care that truly helps people heal. The vividly clear connection between early childhood trauma and adult physical and mental health issues is an education we all need. This story is a powerful example of what’s possible. You will see that we can all contribute, and demand the revolution needed to make things better for everyone." -- Clara Hughes, OC, OM, six-time Olympic medalist, and founding spokesperson for Bell Let’s Talk\n"This narrative is the best teaching tool that I’ve ever read. The story of Isaac and his therapist, Bob, is more than a model demonstrating the intensity and challenge of providing psychotherapy. The account is humane and transparent and owns the errors in establishing the bonds of trust that enable Isaac to heal over time. It also recounts the remarkable thirty-year relationship of mutual support and reflection shared by two psychiatrists, and of the trials and joys they experience with their patients. The authors appeal for societal activism on issues of racism, poverty, trauma-based therapy, accessibility, and accountability – the myriad of social injustices that we all tolerate. This is their call for a revolution in care." -- Jean Marmoreo, MD, author and advocate for elders, end-of-life, and medical assistance in dying\n"I loved this book. Damaged is important for all healthcare workers. It presents lucid and striking discussions of the impact of ACEs (adverse childhood experiences) on individuals and their healthcare. Many compelling and unforgettable case histories and courses of treatment are presented that will be of enormous value in the education of current and future psychotherapists, physicians, and nurses." -- Irvin Yalom, professor emeritus, Stanford University, and author of The Gift of Therapy and A Matter of Death and Life\n"A deeply personal narrative of how humanizing relationships between clinicians and patients heals trauma. Definitely worth reading." -- Alika Lafontaine, President-Elect, Canadian Medical Association\nChildhood adversity that is severe enough to be harmful throughout life is one of the biggest public health issues of our time, yet health care systems struggle to even acknowledge the problem. In　Damaged, Dr. Robert Maunder and Dr. Jonathan Hunter call for a radical change, arguing that the medical system needs to be not only more compassionate but more effective at recognizing that trauma impacts everybody’s health, from patient to practitioner. 
Drawing on decades of experience providing psychiatric care, Maunder and Hunter offer an open and honest window into the private world of psychotherapy. At the heart of the book is the painful yet inspiring story of Maunder’s c

Damaged: Childhood Trauma, Adult Illness, and the Need for a Health Care Revolution

Science and technology have brought about profound changes in the way medicine is practiced. These developments save more lives, but can have a negative impact on psyches and relationships. Thoroughly examining the way medicine is practised in the 21st century, this ground-breaking new book emphasizes the interpersonal, subjective and unconscious processes. It provides important and useful insights into the many ways patients, families and medical practitioners are affected by modern medicine. A Psychodynamic Understanding of Modern Medicine offers profound ways to understand these issues in all their complexity and depth, and demonstrates ways to effectively manage difficulties by drawing on psychoanalytic principles. In so doing, the book directly addresses topics rarely covered from a psychological perspective, such as organ donation, assisted suicide requests, impaired mobility, assisted reproduction, elder abuse, placebos, dialysis units, NICU, general hospital setting, provider-patient relationship and family dynamics with chronic illness. The book is highly recommended to all who are involved with modern medicine. Medical practitioners will have a better means of understanding psychological and interpersonal problems that present themselves in various medical settings. Psychologists and psychiatrists will be more able to intervene when problems occur, including when they involve the interaction between practitioner and patient or family. It is also illuminating reading for students with an interest in medical anthropology, and social and narrative medicine, and for nurses and medical social workers.
