Books like Patients, physicians and illness by E. Gartly Jaco

A groundbreaking work that explains how trauma rewires the brain and body, and presents evidence‑based therapies—from neurofeedback to yoga—that unlock the mind’s natural capacity for healing.

The Mindbody Prescription reveals how repressed emotions can cause musculoskeletal pain and offers a drug‑free, surgical‑free healing program built on Dr. Sarno’s research into the mind‑body link.

Medicine & Culture examines how national and ethnic cultures shape the perception and practice of medicine—and how these differences impact patient–physician relationships worldwide.

From Kay Redfield Jamison - an international authority on manic-depressive illness, and one of the few women who are full professors of medicine at American universities - a remarkable personal testimony: the revelation of her own struggle since adolescence with manic-depression, and how it has shaped her life. Vividly, directly, with candor, wit, and simplicity, she takes us into the fascinating and dangerous territory of this form of madness - a world in which one pole can be the alluring dark land ruled by what Byron called the "melancholy star of the imagination," and the other a desert of depression and, all too frequently, death. A moving and exhilarating memoir by a woman whose furious determination to learn the enemy, to use her gifts of intellect to make a difference, led her to become, by the time she was forty, a world authority on manic-depression, and whose work has helped save countless lives.

Who Gets Sick explores the psychological aspects of physical illness, covering affective disorders, disease susceptibility, psychoneuroimmunology, and the mind-body relationship.

"The search for hope is most urgent at the patient's bedside. The Anatomy of Hope takes us there, bringing us into the lives of people at pivotal moments when they reach for and find hope - or when it eludes their grasp. Through these intimate portraits, we learn how to distinguish true hope from false, why some people feel they are undeserving of it, and whether we should ever abandon our search."--BOOK JACKET
