Books - The Psychobiology of Mind-Body Healing
by Ernest L. Rossi


Product Description

From Library Journal

No doubt those familiar with current research in psychobiology will be interested in hypnotherapist Rossi's description of therapeutic hypnosis, as will lay readers not daunted by the numerous citations to the professional literature. Integrating information from clinical and experimental studies on the placebo response, stress, neuroendocrinology, molecular genetics, the neurobiology of learning and memory, and psychosomatic medicine, he postulates a theory of mind-body communication and explores the idea of a mind-gene connection. His approach to mind-body healing is to help patients convert "stress symptoms into meaningful signals and psychological problems into creative functions" through therapeutic hypnosis. Appropriate for professional and large public libraries. Jodith Janes, University Hospitals of Cleveland

Product Description

Many of the hypotheses that Rossi proposed when this book was published in 1986 have now been confirmed. The mind-body connection is a process that can be seen, measured and accessed through hypnosis. In establishing that it is possible to use the mind to heal body illness, he now brings together new evidence from psychoneuroimmunology, neuroendocrinology, molecular genetics and neurobiology. More than a dozen new approaches to mind-body healing are outlined in a series of teaching tutorials.
