Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Psychoneuroimmunology or mind-body medicine is an exploding area of interest. This book assesses the research in this area and assesses the implicaitons of PNI and its application to general medical practice. It looks at the evidence supporting the concept that mind-body connections have an impact on the development and progress of illness, and at how health care providers can take advantage of this evidence to improve the well-being of their patients. This is a practical text and reference which gives a good general introduction to the concept of mind-body medicine as it has developed to date.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
