The Our Bodies, Our Selves for the 90s, this book is based on the groundbreaking research of Alice Domar at Harvard medical school. She has found that mind-body medicine helps alleviate infertility, calms PMS symptoms, helps ease the discomforts of menopause. It promotes the well-being of breast cancer patients and reduces pain of patients with endometriosis and pelvic conditions. It helps women with anxiety problems and eating disorders.
Particuarly in respect to gynaecological conditions women often feel anxious, isolated, and out of control. This book offers much needed psychological medicine: techniques enabling women to relax, transform negative thought patterns, express emotions and develop strong sources of social support. These methods also help healthy women to stay healthy, by defusing the impact of stress on their bodies.
The book is clearly organised into 2 sections: Part 1 look at techniques for stress management relaxation and self-nurturance (including yoga, meditation, cognitive therapy, guided imagery). Part 2 sets forth specific programmes tailored to women with a wide range of health conditions.
THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO MIND-BODY HEALTH FOR WOMEN – TAKING CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE
Imagine a pill that could relieve stress, alleviate PMS, reduce menopausal hot flushes, and increase conception rates for women suffering from infertility. Mind-body medicine offers all these benefits, but unlike a pill it has only one known side effect – peace of mind.
With the increased pressures of modern-day living, women need to understand the mind-body connection. With less and less time for themselves, feelings of exhaustion, anxiety, isolation and low self-esteem are common – often leading to ill health.
However, it is possible for women to prevent illness and optimise their health – using the power of the mind. Based on the latest groundbreaking research, this vital guide will show you the positive benefits of stress management, relaxation, self-nurture and the transformation of negative thought patterns.
It includes useful case histories and a wide range of powerful techniques such as:
· meditation
· yoga
· autogenic training
· guided imagery
· cognitive therapy
· diet and exercise
'Healing Mind, Healthy Woman' also offers an effective programme for treating specific women's health problems – from eating disorders to breast and gynaecological cancers.
Alice D Domar is an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and directs their women's health programme. Henry Dreher is a successful science and health writer.
‘'Healing Mind, Healthy Woman' is a valuable guide to both living well and to focusing the power of the mind on the special health issues of women...this book is a treasure trove of information.’
