An attractive feature of self-regulation therapies is that, instead
of doing something to the patients, they teach them to do something
for them selves. Furthermore, the fact that the patient is able to
do something to cope with his or her health problem can produce a
significant reduction in the stress that may have contributed to
that problem and in the additional stress that it produces. While
the idea that the mind can playa role in the health of the body and
some therapeutic techniques based on this idea are not new,
remarkable scientific advances have been made recently in the area
of self-regulation and health. There has been an exciting and
rapidly accel erating increase in our basic science knowledge of
homeostasis, or, in other words, how the body regulates itself in
order to maintain health. Technical and conceptual advances are
increasing our knowledge of the details of such regulation at all
levels-cells, tissues, organs, organ sys tems, and the body as a
whole. We are learning how the competing demands of different
elements at each of these levels are adjusted by the brain, which,
with its neural and humoral mechanisms, is the supreme organ of
integration of the body."
