Healing and the Mind

At last, the paperback edition of the monumentalÂ Â best-seller (almost half a million copies inÂ Â print!) that has changed the way Americans think aboutÂ Â sickness and health -- the companion volume to theÂ Â landmark PBS series of the same name. In aÂ Â remarkably short period of time, Bill Moyers'sÂ Â Healing And The Mind has become aÂ Â touchstone, shaping the debate over alternative medicalÂ Â treatments and the role of the mind in illness andÂ Â recovery in a way that few books have in recentÂ Â memory. With almost half a million copies in print,Â Â it is already a classic -- the most widely readÂ Â and influential book of its kind. In a series ofÂ Â fascinating interviews with world-renowned expertsÂ Â and laypeople alike, Bill Moyers explores the newÂ Â mind/body medicine. Healing And TheÂ Â Mind shows how it is being practiced in theÂ Â treatment of stress, chronic disease, and neonatalÂ Â problems in several American hospitals; examines theÂ Â chemical basis of emotions, and their potentialÂ Â for making us sick (and making us well); exploresÂ Â the fusion of traditional Chinese medicine withÂ Â modern Western practices in contemporary China; andÂ Â takes an up-close, personal look at alternativeÂ Â healing therapies, including a Massachusetts centerÂ Â that combines Eastern meditation and Western groupÂ Â therapy, and a California retreat for cancerÂ Â patients who help each other even when a cure isÂ Â impossible. Combining the incisive yet personal interviewÂ Â approach that made A World Of IdeasÂ Â a feast for the mind and the provocative interplayÂ Â of text and art that made The Power OfÂ Â Myth a feast for the imagination,Â Â Healing And The Mind is a landmark work.
