Summary
This is the companion book to the widely acclaimed Public Television Series The New Medicine and features in depth interviews with the participants of this program -- world experts in their fields. These physicians and scholars work in leading medical schools and clinics across the country, including Harvard, the University of California and Duke. They present the hard scientific evidence behind the fact that our mental state has a direct influence on our physical health. Together they make a compelling case that physicians must treat the whole person with an illness, not just the illness alone in order to promote true healing. Many are practitioners of Integrative Medicine and make the convincing case that listening to a patient's concerns and building rapport is essential for an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment plan.
