Críticas:

Wounds are tricky things to cope with, whether they are mental, spiritual, or physical. The healing process can leave scars visible and invisible and can be as painful as acquiring them. Knighton, founder of the Wound Healing Institute at the University of Minnesota Medical Center, is an expert in all manner of wounds, particularly physical, and he advocates a holistic approach to cure--one that is focused on massage, self-examination, thoughtful care and embracing the person in all aspects. His advice explores everything from proper exercise to forms of psychotherapy and the latest advances in stem cells. Perhaps because of its wide range of topics, this book seems to stumble at times from serious scientific information to New Age sensibilities. While this is part of the holistic approach, to be sure, it leaves skeptical readers uncertain of how much to believe from the science and how much to dismiss from the spiritual. Readers will wish that he had stuck to exploring either physical or emotional wounds in greater detail, rather than offering small amounts of information on both. (June)--Publishers Weekly

Reseña del editor:

Wounds are universal. We all experience them--to our bodies, our psyches, and our spirits. According to David Knighton, M.D., wounding is nothing to fear. In fact, wounding is as essential to life as healing--the two working together in an intricate biological dance that permeates all of nature. The Wisdom of the Healing Wound offers a new view on why we hurt, how we heal, and how we wound ourselves for our own benefit. Paradoxically, wounding is probably our greatest stimulus for health. Armed with this new, positive outlook on wounding, readers can enjoy profound healing--even in wounds that have been diagnosed as chronic or incurable. Whether those wounds are physical, psychological, or spiritual, readers of The Wisdom of the Healing Wound will find many new and effective healing strategies--and renewed hope.
