This popular study of "psychological healing"treats topics
ranging from religious revivalism and magical healing to
contemporary psychotherapies, from the role of the shaman in
nonindustrialized societies to the traditional mental hospital.
Jerome and Julia Frank (who are father and daughter) contend that
these therapies share common elements that improve the "morale"of
sufferers. And in combating the "demoralizing meaning"that people
attach to their experiences, the authors argue, many therapies are
surprisingly similar to rhetoric (the art of persuasion) and to
hermeneutics (the study of meanings).
Highly acclaimed in previous editions, "Persuasion and Healing"
has been completely revised and expanded. In addition to a
broadened exploration of the role of demoralization in illness,
this latest edition offers updated information on topics including
self-help, family therapy, psychopharmacology, psychotherapy for
the mentally ill, and techniques such as primal therapy and
bioenergetics. As they explore the power of "healing rhetoric"in
these activities, the authors strengthen the ties among the various
healing profession.
