5.0 out of 5 stars Destined to be a Classic, January 17, 2003

By	Robert Kall "Rob Kall of Opednews.com" (Newtown, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is a real treasure trove of information by the world's leaders in the different areas it covers. It's humble title belies the rich lode of distilled wisdom it's editors have brought together. If your goal is to have a handy, easily accessible source for information on mind-body approaches to a plethora of different diagnostic categories, this book is the most authoritative source I've ever seen. It has a wealth of information on mind body, biofeedback, applied psychophysiology, self regulation and hypnosis approaches. While there are other, less current books available covering similar ground, this one does it in a practical, economical manner, timewise, getting to the point. covering the bases soyou are not developing a relationship with the book-- just getting the info you need to do your job or better understand how to more effectively and appropriately make referrals.
As the current public information officer for the Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback, with 30+ years in the field, I consider myself an expert on who's who in the field. And this is one book that is full of the very best experts in their very specific areas.
