Reviews
Psychoanalyst Epstein became intrigued with the curative powers of mental imagery through the influence of Mme. Colette Aboukler-Muscat while in Jerusalem in 1974. Having mastered the techniques of "waking dream therapy," which postulates the unity of mind and body, he espouses visual imagery, "the thinking used for making contact with our inner subjective reality" for curing both physical and emotional problems. Much of this book contains specific instructions for evoking the appropriate imagery to cure afflictions ranging from acne to warts, and including cancer, hemorrhoids, and scoliosis. A separate chapter focuses on imagery for promoting good health. The book includes pointers for developing successful imaging techniques and will appeal to those readers interested in alternative medical practices.
