Delta Green: Through a Glass, Darkly

Provides a close-up look at psychosomatic pain disorders, explaining how repressed rage can lead to physical illness and how bringing this rage to the awareness of the conscious mind can eliminate the pain without surgery or medication.;What is psychosomatic medicine? -- Brief history of psychosomatic medicine -- Psychology of psychosomatic disorders -- Treatment -- Hypertension and the mindbody connection : a new paradigm -- My experience with tension myositis syndrome -- Rheumatologist's experience with psychosomatic disorders -- My perspective on psychosomatic medicine -- Structural pain or psychosomatic pain? -- Family doctor's experience with mindbody medicine. The book that will change the way we think about health and illness, The Divided Mind is the crowning achievement of Dr. John E. Sarno's distinguished career as a groundbreaking medical pioneer, going beyond pain to address the entire spectrum of psychosomatic (mindbody) disorders. The interaction between the generally reasonable, rational, ethical, moral conscious mind and the repressed feelings of emotional pain, hurt, sadness, and anger characteristic of the unconscious mind appears to be the basis for mindbody disorders. The Divided Mind traces the history of psychosomatic medicine, including Freud's crucial role, and describes the psychology responsible for the broad range of psychosomatic illness. The failure of medicine's practitioners to recognize and appropriately treat mindbody disorders has produced public health and economic problems of major proportions in the United States. One of the most important aspects of psychosomatic phenomena is that knowledge and awareness of the process clearly have healing powers. Thousands of people have become pain-free simply by reading Dr. Sarno's previous books. How and why this happens is a fascinating story, and is revealed in The Divided Mind
