Healing and Medicine - A Doctor's Journey Towards Their Integration

Healing is on many peoples’ minds today. In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic and a host of other disruptions and disasters many of us feel that we need healing - in our personal lives, for the environment and for our planet. But healing is rarely defined and is not an accepted part of medicine in the West. This book examines the relationship between healing and medicine through the eyes of an academic physician who changed his interests from biomedical research to healing late in his career in medicine. It is based in on his experiences and stories of his encounters with patients, practitioners and others for whom healing has had a particular significance, as well as his rigorous research into the subject. A central theme of the book is that modern medicine needs to be more pluralistic in its approach to health, and accept that spirituality and healing techniques have roles to play alongside scientific medicine, which currently has its base in materialism alone.
