This book provides a clear and authoritative summary of the results
and clinical implications of research in spiritual healing, energy
medicine and the effects of intentionality. Recent publications in
the Archives of Internal Medicine, the Western Journal of Medicine,
JAMA and the Annals of Internal Medicine have focused on prayer,
distant healing and spiritual healing. Therapeutic touch is taught
in many nursing schools and laying-on-of-hands and mental healing
are of great interest to the public. But what is the science behind
these practices? Is there any research? Is it any good? What are
the implications of this research for medicine and science? How
should investigation of spiritual healing proceed, if at all? These
are the questions this book explores. This book derives from a
project sponsored by the Lawrence S. Rockefeller for the purpose of
rigorously evaluating the science of spiritual healing. To produce
the book, some of the best researchers in these areas were asked to
use a standard set of quality criteria for the evaluation of
science and clinical research. A conference of scientists,
physicians, ministers and others then reviewed and discussed this
literature and addressed methods for their further evaluation. The
conference was organised by the Uniformed Services University of
the Health Sciences, Duke University, Wake Forest University and
the Institute of Noetic Sciences. The evidence level of these areas
was rated using standards established by government groups and
published in JAMA for classification of the amount and quality of
evidence in medicine. Each area was summarised, and clinical
implications identified. Recommendations for future research and
investigating the impact of healing practices in the clinical
setting were also made. Provides the most authoritative discussion
of the science of healing intention and energy medicine. Offers a
clear analysis and assessment of research results and their
relative quality. Explores the clinical implications for research
results and demonstrates how they may be applied in practice.
Provides guidelines for further research and study on the subject.
With 21 expert contributors.
