Deep Healing: The Essence of Mind-Body Medicine
By Emmett E. Miller, M.D.
Hay House, 1997

Overview and Contents

Twenty-five years after creating a new approach to human health—Mind-Body Medicine—Dr. Miller presents the definitive work in the field. Coming at a crucial point in America's healthcare crisis, this book can bring new hope and a sigh of relief to every reader. It awakens even the most skeptical among us to the miraculous, inborn self-healing capacities of our own minds and bodies, and offers step-by-step instructions to put those innate abilities to work.

Dr. Miller's message empowers and inspires us. He reveals secrets of self-healing, now well established by medical science, yet seldom made public. Even more gratifying, he presents information and skills that can put the magic of healing directly back into the hands of patients and caring health professionals. He does this by describing eye-opening research, fascinating case histories, and a broad perspective extending from the personal to the societal.

Deep Healing is a bold new step forward in the theory, philosophy and practice of the healing arts and sciences. Dr. Miller makes the case that we must take a whole new look at the importance of the traditional doctor-patient relationship, as recalled by the Hippocratic Oath, if we wish to restore quality health care. Equally vital is a healthy relationship with Self.

Step-By-Step Self-Healing

To support his vision for the new millennium, Dr. Miller presents amazing new skills in mental imagery, the transformation of disease-oriented perceptions, and the writing of positive life scripts. These are presented in the Deep Healing Experiential Workout at the end of each chapter, an easy, logical, self-directed program that you can begin putting into practice today to change your mind and change your life. Dr. Miller's humor, compassion and clinical experience with the healing of mind, body, emotion and spirit shine through in revealing personal vignettes, thought-provoking fables and profound quotes from wise teachers of all times. Fascinating and illuminating, yet at the same time remarkably user-friendly and entertaining, Deep Healing is for everyone, lay person and health professional alike, who is interested in healing themselves and others.
