Photos.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>At last, the paperback edition of the monumental best-seller (almost half a million copies in print!) that has changed the way Americans think about sickness and health -- the companion volume to the landmark PBS series of the same name. In a remarkably short period of time, Bill Moyers's <i>Healing And The Mind</i> has become a touchstone, shaping the debate over alternative medical treatments and the role of the mind in illness and recovery in a way that few books have in recent memory. With almost half a million copies in print, it is already a classic -- the most widely read and influential book of its kind. In a series of fascinating interviews with world-renowned experts and laypeople alike, Bill Moyers explores the new mind/body medicine. <i>Healing And The Mind</i> shows how it is being practiced in the treatment of stress, chronic disease, and neonatal problems in several American hospitals; examines the chemical basis of emotions, and their potential for making us sick (and making us well); explores the fusion of traditional Chinese medicine with modern Western practices in contemporary China; and takes an up-close, personal look at alternative healing therapies, including a Massachusetts center that combines Eastern meditation and Western group therapy, and a California retreat for cancer patients who help each other even when a cure is impossible. Combining the incisive yet personal interview approach that made <i>A World Of Ideas</i> a feast for the mind and the provocative interplay of text and art that made <i>The Power Of Myth</i> a feast for the imagination, <i>Healing And The Mind</i> is a landmark work.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Bill Moyers</b> was a founding organizer of the Peace Corps, a senior White House assistant (and press secretary) to President Lyndon Johnson from 1963 until 1967, publisher of <i>Newsday</i>, senior news analyst for CBS News, and producer of many of public television's groundbreaking series.
