The Divided Mind: The Epidemic of Mindbody Disorders Paperback – March 27, 2007
by John E. Sarno
You can find it on amazon, or if you search on youtube there's interviews with the author..
from the sleeve:
"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. The Divided Mind 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 recognize and appropriately treat mindbody disorders has produced public health and economic problems of major proportions in the United States."
my take on it:
It's presents a compelling and well researched document evidence trail leading from the present day back into the early days of western medicine which attempts to document that psychosomatic illnesses are not only real, but they must account for a statistically enormous percentage chronic pain disorders today well beyond what most MDs will be willing to admit. He not only makes the case for how common and serious these conditions can be, but he also presents a therapy approach that I highly recommend.
