Mind-Body Practices in Healthcare

By Marcelo Saad

Mind-Body Practices in Healthcare

By Marcelo Saad

- Default Title
Description
An important principle of the Hippocratic precept is "Vis Medicatrix Naturae" (the healing power of nature), which holds that the organism can often heal itself. Under this view, most of the physician's role is to support this innate tendency. Mind and body relations indubitably play important roles in human health, disease and healing. Safe, low-cost mind-body interventions have shown potential to support clinical treatment, and clinicians could encourage them more often. The purpose of this work is to contribute to progress towards a more integrative future. The current book aims to present academically reliable and clinically useful information. All the chapters closely correlate with the book's theme, making a valuable contribution to our project. Most chapters address subjects rarely discussed in the academic environment and seldom forgotten in healthcare education. Some chapters present theoretical frameworks, supported by pertinent scientific literature, while others present original empirical results and professional experience. The academic world will undoubtedly benefit from such contributions by authors from diverse continents and different cultural perspectives. Congratulations on your interest in this work, which the editors hope readers will find helpful and enjoyable!
