According to Dr. Sarno, most pain is a psychogenic expression of unconscious rage -- the brain's way of distracting you from repressed feelings. By changing the treatment focus from the body to the mind, he persuasively argues that pain can be abolished simply by understanding its purpose. Informative and diagnostic, "The Mindbody Prescription" reveals how emotions stimulate the brain to produce physical symptoms, describes these emotionally induced ailments, and offers a therapeutic program, including: -- Thinking psychologically -- Talking to the brain -- Addressing pressures and rages -- Developing periods of reflection -- and more.
