Description
Mind/Body Health: The Effects of Attitudes, Emotions, and Relationships, Third Editiondetails the latest scientific findings regarding the relationship between the mind and body, and discusses how attitudes and emotions directly affect physical health and well-being. Written by an interdisciplinary team of authors, including a professional health educator who is deeply involved in Mind/Body research and an MD/Internist who specializes in Mind/Body practices, this text details current global findings on the relationship between the mind, body, and health.

Relationships between physical health and spirituality, attitude, medicine, and various social factors are explored.
