The Divided Mind – The Epidemic of Mindbody Disorders (4 of 5)
"Dr. Sarno brilliantly explores the chasm between the conscious and unconscious minds, where psychosomatic ailments originate." (Mehmet Oz, MD, co-author of You: The Owner's Manual) Publisher's Summary The Divided Mind is the crowning achievement of Dr. John E. Sarno's long and successful career as a groundbreaking medical pioneer. While his earlier books dealt almost exclusively with musculoskeletal pain disorders, here Dr. Sarno addresses the entire spectrum of psychosomatic (mind-body) disorders. In Dr. Sarno's view, the crucial interaction between the reasonable, rational, ethical, moral conscious mind and the repressed feelings of emotional pain, hurt, sadness, and anger characteristic of the unconscious mind is the basis for many mind-body disorders. The Divided Mind traces the history of psychosomatic medicine, including Freud's crucial role as well as his failures. Most important, it describes the psychology of the human condition that is responsible for the broad range of psychosomatic illness. Dr. Sarno believes that the failure of medicine's practitioners to recognize and appropriately treat mind-body disorders has produced public health and economic problems of major proportions in the United States. One of the most interesting and important aspects of psychosomatic phenomena is the fact that knowledge and awareness of the process clearly have healing powers. "As far as Dr Sarno and his colleagues are concerned, fibromyalgia is a severe form of TMS, and is ...

The Divided Mind – The Epidemic of Mindbody Disorders (1 of 5)
A Note from zenny7: Personally, I am still not too sure how much Dr. Sarno understands that the Mind is NOT the brain. The brain acts as the Minds receptor. Aside from this, the information he gives in his book and in this interview is good stuff, so I hope you enjoy what he has to say.
