From the Back Cover:
Mind-body medicine has captured the popular imagination. More and more people are turning to alternative, nontraditional therapies to take control of their physical and mental health. But how much do we really know about our emotional and mental characteristics and attitudes and how they can affect our physical well-being? Discover what research tells us about the true medical benefits of relaxation therapy, meditation, positive visualization, mental healing, and hypnosis. Does science support the public's growing faith in these treatments? The answer, surprisingly, is yes. This book helps you examine a wide variety of today's burgeoning alternative therapies and fully explains the underlying science. Along the way, you'll learn how to assess your own personality as it relates to your health.
