Synopsis

This book sets out to demonstrate that physical health and sickness and the spiritual life, happiness, depression, grief, optimism, despair, etc are closely related. The author contests the claims made by conventional medicine by showing that by the time breakthrough cures for diphtheria, and tuberculosis were discovered, rates of death had already dwindled by up to 90%. He claims that antiquated European medical methods that are scorned by modern medicine had a large measure of success as do tribal cures in Africa that succeed by offering comfort and sympathy and by holding out faith. The author's previous books include "Multimind", "The Mind Field", "The Amazing Brain" and "The Psychology of Consciousness".

Review

HEALING BRAIN is an exciting 'must read' book packed with thought-provoking, creative metaphors and seminal paradigms for all with a medical-psychological appreciation of life processes. It sets the stage for every reader becoming an informed participant in the incipient breakthroughs in psychoneuroimmunology, even anticipating new developments in chaos theory. Every chapter provoked, stimulated, and sharpened my thoughts about my role as a physician-healer as opposed to being a physician-technician.'' --Charles F. Stroebel, Ph.D., M.D. "The quality of presentation is excellent, and the information presented represents the current state of thought in this emerging scientific specialty....Professionals as well as college students at all levels will find this volume to be a valuable reference source on the topic." -- Science Books and Films "The quality of presentation is excellent, and the information presented represents the current state of thought in this emerging scientific specialty....Professionals as well as college students at all levels will find this volume to be a valuable reference source on the topic." --"Science Books and Films"
