Unconventional healers concentrate on making their patients' spirit whole.
A good choice for contemporary health collections. It poses the idea that wellness is more than just the absence of disease and that healing goes deeper than simply curing symptoms. Disillusioned with the technological approach to health care, people are rediscovering spiritual traditions. They search for, and find solace in, methods that enable them to be healed by connecting with their inner spirit. Without exception, the patients in this film have used their pain as a pathway to healing rather than as an excuse to sink into self-pity and bitterness that might come with AIDS, Alzheimer's, cancer and depression.
