The Psychobiology of Mind-Body Healing: New Concepts of Therapeutic Hypnosis (Revised Edition)
No doubt those familiar with current research in psychobiology will be interested in hypnotherapist Rossi's description of therapeutic hypnosis, as will lay readers not daunted by the numerous citations to the professional literature. Integrating information from clinical and experimental studies on the placebo response, stress, neuroendocrinology, molecular genetics, the neurobiology of learning and memory, and psychosomatic medicine, he postulates a theory of mind-body communication and explores the idea of a mind-gene connection. His approach to mind-body healing is to help patients convert "stress symptoms into meaningful signals and psychological problems into creative functions" through therapeutic hypnosis. Appropriate for professional and large public libraries.
