Allergies and Aversions
Why does your body reject what others tolerate?
In Allergies and Aversions, Michael J. Lincoln Ph.D. uncovers the profound psychological and emotional roots beneath the body's intolerance reactions. Every allergy, aversion, and repulsion carries a message — and this book decodes it.
Beginning with a clear summary of the mechanisms underlying the allergic response, this landmark reference dictionary then explores the psychological dynamics and learning histories behind the 300+ most common allergies recognized by the American Allergy Association — nearly 500 entries in total — covering substances, experiences, and events.

- The body-mind mechanisms driving allergic and intolerance responses
- Nearly 500 dictionary entries — seasonal, food, environmental, and emotional allergies decoded
- The psychological and learning histories underlying each reaction
- Emotional roots of aversion, repulsion, and distaste
