This book contains Julius A. Dresser's summary of mental science and the ability to heal the sick with mental and spiritual power. As the son of Horatio Dresser - an acquaintance and adherent of Phineas Quimby, the founder of the New Thought movement - Julius felt obliged to carry on his father's legacy by explaining the beliefs he held. Citing both ancient philosophy and religion, Julius begins by saying knowledge of mental healing is neither new nor novel: rather, it has practiced through history. Referring repeatedly to Christianity and Jesus Christ as an example of mental healing in action, Dresser aims to illustrate how P. P. Quimby rediscovered it. His experiences with tuberculosis, where conventional medicine in the form of camomile did more harm than good, are detailed. Quimby would later go on to assert that exciting, uplifting experiences such as riding a horse did far more for his tuberculosis than any other method.

This book is dedicated to the use of hypnotherapy to help victims recover from trauma and stress. This field is desperate for new ideas and solutions and Healing Scripts provides just this - a model for the hypnotic imagery that will reach the source of the pain and anguish and finally offer some relief. The subjects covered include Pain, PTSD, Stress and Dissociation, plus a separate section devoted to helping children will provide the hypnotherapist with practical down-to-earth suggestions for both the content and context of hypnotic interventions. Furthermore, the rationale for using any particular script is fully explained. The scripts have been used and been found to be valid in real life situations or can either be used as they are or adapted for the client's specific needs.

What does scientific research show about the effectiveness of chiropractic care? How are chiropractors trained and what do they do? When should one turn to chiropractic care, and how does one select a practitioner? This book answers all of these questions and more. Chiropractic is the most frequently used complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) practice in the United States, with nearly $4 billion spent out-of-pocket annually by chiropractic patients. In fact, as evidence for its effectiveness for common conditions such as back pain continues to mount and acceptance grows in a variety of health care settings, chiropractic could be considered more "mainstream" than many other forms of CAM. In this information-packed single-volume work, an expert team led by Cheryl Hawk-a well-known chiropractic researcher-explains chiropractic licensure, practice, and effectiveness to general readers researching chiropractic care options and to undergraduate students choosing a major or specialty. Readers will see the range of scientific evidence supporting the use of chiropractic health care for many common conditions, learn about the typical chiropractic clinical encounter and chiropractic procedures, and understand the criteria by which patients and other health professionals can use to select a chiropractic physician. This book also provides health care practitioners in other fields with current information that enables a greater understanding of the training and the roles of chiropractors in health care. Provides an easy-to-read and scientifically valid resource for lay readers and students as well as health professionals, offering an evidence-based approach to chiropractic care Presents an up-to-date overview of the scientific evidence on the effectiveness of chiropractic care for many common conditions, demystifies what chiropractors do, and explains their training, scope of practice, and commonly used procedures Identifies training and licensure requirements for chiropractors in all 50 U.S. states, useful for college students or anyone considering a career change to chiropractic health care
