The author, Dr. David Schechter, a former student of Dr. John Sarno, has developed a Workbook that instructs and guides the reader through a process of insight and awareness to harness the mindbody connection.
As my career has progressed, I've developed my own program of treatment that includes an office consultation and educational seminar on this subject for my patients. I've developed a series of materials including audiotapes, article, video, and now this Workbook. I feel this Workbook offers the best opportunity for people suffering from mindbody disorders that I may not personally be able to treat. With the help of a local physician to exclude more serious disease, they should be able to benefit greatly from the thirty-day structured journal approach, on their own, as my own patients do in my office.

A Chiropractor's Perspective,
By d 3 PO (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The MindBody Workbook: A Thirty Day Program of Insight and Awareness for People with Back Pain and Other Disorders (Plastic Comb)
"I'm a chiropractor and interested in the totality of healing--mechanical, chemical, and psychological. I find that Dr. Schechter's 'MindBody Workbook' is unique in that in provides a simple, easy to follow, format for my patients to focus their energies on healing emotionally. The workbook is concise and to the point. The questions provide a starting point for journalling and gently guide the patient to deeper levels of emotional insight. In my experience, and the research supports this, the emotional healing greatly enhances the structural and chemical healing. It all works together. This helps my treatments be more effective. Compared to even a single psychotherapy session, the price is a bargain. I highly recommend the book for psychological insight and emotional healing." Gerald Edwards, D.C., Q.M.E. Los Angeles

Dr. Schechter Makes the Difference. What a Relief!,
By Lori Landau, MFT (Woodland Hills, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The MindBody Workbook: A Thirty Day Program of Insight and Awareness for People with Back Pain and Other Disorders (Plastic Comb)
I am inspired by Dr. Schechter's devotion to helping those who suffer from chronic physical discomfort. Dr. Schechter has taken the Mindbody wisdom we are all getting familiar with and developed a step by step approach to assist anyone wanting to increase their physical and emotional sense of well being. The workbook is wonderful, full of information and great advice! It is essentially a guided journal and done in such a way that I often felt, in reading it, that Dr. Schechter was sitting and talking directly with me. His conversational style is personable, supportive, constructive and well paced. The importance of developing ways to work with our growing knowledge of the mindbody connection cannot be underestimated. Dr. Schechter has made an invaluable contribution by writing The Mindbody Workbook. I recommend this book for anyone who tends to experience physical symtoms in reaction to life stressors. I also recommend this book to therapists who might want to recommend journaling to clients, as a way of helping them track and respond to their own emotions.

Pain Free,
By Lori (New York City) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The MindBody Workbook: A Thirty Day Program of Insight and Awareness for People with Back Pain and Other Disorders (Plastic Comb)
I found this workbook very helpful. I was in extreme pain from my back. By following the excercises and keeping a journal like format, I was able to shift the focus from the physical to the psychological. Not easy at all, but once you realize the pain is a cover up for what your not dealing with, the realization helps gradually ease the pain.
Dr. Schecter is very inciteful and provides a methodical approach to dealing with the elimination of pain. You must be patient. The MindBody connection is very strong and this book helps you uncover alot of what your mind masks. After working with this workbook, I was pain free in about 6 weeks. I highly recommend it as a tool to help refocus your thought patterns and eliminate your pain.
