Review
A realization is dawning for millions of Americans: If we are to be our healthiest, we must rely on our own inner resources. BODYMIND HEALING PSYCHOTHERAPY will help anyone discover and manifest his or her healing potential. This book is a dazzling accomplishment...a thrilling blueprint for the integration of body, mind, and spirit. --- Larry Dossey, MD, Author of Reinventing Medicine

Drawing upon over 30 years of his psychotherapy practice and personal training, Dr. Mayer has provided a seminal contribution to the field of mind-body interventions for a wide range of common disorders. His book is profound in its scope, evidence based, bridges Eastern and Western traditions, and provides practical insights and skills that can be of enormous value to both individuals and organizations seeking to attain optimal health. --- Dr. Kenneth R. Pelletier, Author of The Best Alternative Medicine: What Works? What Does Not

This scholarly and eminently readable book integrates eastern and western forms of self-healing techniques and examines the capacity of various approaches that put human beings at the center of their own self-care. I applaud Dr Michael Mayer for his monumental work, which hopefully foreshadows the shape of body-mind approaches for years to come. --Bessel van der Kolk, MD, Medical Director, The Trauma Center, Boston University School of Medicine

Product Description
Drawing from 30 years of training in Tai Chi and Qigong with some of the most respected masters of these traditions, Dr. Mayer shows how to integrate the essence of these practices into psychotherapy and into our healthcare without ever doing a Tai Chi/Qigong movement, and without mentioning a word about Qigong. From this co-founder of an integrated medical clinic and award-winning author in the field of mind-body healthcare, you ll see how this integrative approach contributes to alleviate the current healthcare crisis. Ancient and modern, East and West, psychotherapy and mind-body medicine are amalgamated to make a stronger integrative medicine. Theory, research, and case illustrations are blended as you learn bodymind healing methods for anxiety, chronic pain, hypertension, insomnia, trauma, and other common issues plaguing the modern world.   You ll learn how to use a variety of ancient pathways to help heal the mind and body such as: Chinese medicine approaches including Qigong and acupressure self-touch  Innovative symbolic process methods stemming from age-old mythic storytelling, guided imagery, and breathing techniques Methods drawn from ancient traditions of meditation and postural initiation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive Resource for Anyone on the Healing Journey, May 4, 2008
This is an amazing text! It integrates so much information from the entire field of body-mind healing. I've used energy psychology in my clinical practice for the past 10 years and yet I learned so much from Michael Mayer's treatment of this one subject. However, his book is an amazing resource of information and practical application of all facets of mind-body healing. Therapists interested in learning about mind-body healing will find a wealth of information here and lay people who want to help themselves will be able to understand it as well, since it is all presented so clearly and beautifully. It clarifies so many issues in this often confusing field, allowing the user to move forward with confidence. This book is an obvious labor of love and very hard work.
