Inhaltsangabe:

In this groundbreaking collection of essays, medical scientists from the fields of psychoneuroimmunology, neuroscience, and the placebo effect join with practitioners from the fields of non-Western medicine--the Asklepieia, body/soul therapies, and dreamwork--to explore the intimate relationship between imagination and physical health. By looking at medical science, present and past, native and modern, these scholars, physicians, and healers offer their vision of what medical treatment and psychotherapy might look like in the future. Artists and architects with expertise in health care also describe and present new designs for healing centers that bring together current scientific knowledge and age-old healing practices. This collection will be of great interest to those looking to the future in the fields of therapy, medicine, and the healing professions.
