In the best-selling companion volume to the PBS series, acclaimed
television journalist Bill Moyers explores the fascinating, complex,
powerful connection between mind and body in human health. Ancient
medical science told us our minds and bodies are one. So did
philosophers of old. Now, modern science and new research are helping us
to understand these connections. In "Healing And The Mind," Bill Moyers
talks with physicians, scientists, therapists, and patients -- people
who are taking a new look at the meaning of sickness and health. In a
series of fascinating and provocative interviews, he discusses their
search for answers to perplexing questions: How do emotions translate
into chemicals in our bodies? How do thoughts and feelings influence
health? How can we collaborate with our bodies to encourage healing?
With the incisive style that has made Bill Moyers's skills as an
interviewer legendary, "Healing And The Mind" is destined to influence
how America thinks about sickness and health.
