Treating the Human, Not the Disease: A Japanese Doctor’s Journey Beyond Diagnosis (English Edition)

(著) 樋田和彦

[About the Book]

This book invites a shift in perspective—from treating diseases to caring for people.



Medical tests show no abnormalities. Medication brings little relief.

Yet we continue searching for a diagnosis—for a name to give our condition.



The author, a Japanese otolaryngologist with many years of clinical experience, came to question this approach after facing his own physical and mental health challenges. He realized that people do not recover through diagnoses and data alone.



In the consultation room, are we truly facing “diseases”—or living human beings?



This question led the author toward a new approach: medicine that sees the whole person.



This book sheds light on the connections between mind, body, and daily life—connections that modern medicine often overlooks. Through clinical experience and numerous case studies, it explores how stress, the autonomic nervous system, emotions, and environment intertwine and manifest as physical symptoms.



This is not a book that rejects modern medicine. Rather, it is an attempt to return to its very foundation.



For healthcare professionals who feel a sense of discomfort with increasingly mechanized medical care, for students preparing to enter the field, and for anyone seeking to reconnect with their own body—



This book quietly asks:

What does it truly mean to heal? What is genuine recovery?
