261 p. ; 24 cm. This comprehensive collection on integral medicine explores the frontier of holistic health care. It critically describes the application of such current techniques as biofeedback, guided imagery and nutrition modification, and examines the strategies, treatments and effects of integral approaches as they are used for pain control, cancer therapy, and mental health promotion. The book reveals a complementary integration of modern science with rediscovered ancient healing traditions. It suggests a synthesis of physical and emotional health care, employing such timeless therapeutic modalities as touch, acu- puncture, and yoga. Written in simple language by leaders in the field, this important work details the implications for patients and practitioners in light of the emerging dawn of holistic health care systems. A foreword by Senator George McGovern reinforces the need for a wellness-oriented, preventative medical philosophy. This book will be of value to professionals, academicians, and all those dedicated to improving health and mental health care.
