Riassunto

The book that changes the way we think about health and illness. The Divided Mind is the crowning achievement of Dr. John E. Sarno's distinguished career as a groundbreaking medical pioneer, going beyond pain to address the entire spectrum of psychosomatic (mindbody) disorders. The interaction between the generally reasonable, rational, ethical, moral conscious mind and the repressed feelings of emotional pain, hurt, sadness, and anger characteristic of the unconscious mind appears to be the basis for mindbody disorders. Dr. Sarno traces the history of psychosomatic medicine, including Freud's crucial role, and describes the psychology responsible for the broad range of psychosomatic illness. The failure of medicine's practitioners to recognise and appropriately treat mindbody disorders has produced public health and economic problems of major proportions across the western world. One of the most important aspects of psychosomatic phenomena is that knowledge and awareness of the process clearly have healing powers. Thousands of people have become pain-free simply by reading Dr. Sarno's books - how and why this happens is revealed in The Divided Mind. ***PRAISE FOR THE DIVIDED MIND*** 'The Divided Mind is the crowning achievement of Dr. John E. Sarno's distinguished career as a groundbreaking medical pioneer, going beyond pain to address the entire spectrum of psychosomatic (mindbody) disorders... thousands of people have become pain-free simply by reading Dr. Sarno's previous books.' Psychology Today 'Dr. Sarno, is, in my opinion, the most brilliant doctor in America... In the past twenty years I have recommended his books to dozens of friends and acquaintances experiencing chronic pain, including several on the verge of surgery.' Edward Siedle, Forbes 'Dr. Sarno brilliantly explores the chasm between the conscious and unconscious minds where psychosomatic ailments originate.' Mehmet Oz, co-author of You: The Owner's Manual 'Will change the way we think about health and illness... the crowning achievement of Dr Sarno's distinguished career.' The Watkins Review
