This book presents an analysis of the correlation between the mind
and the body, a complex topic of study and discussion by scientists
and philosophers. Drawing largely on neuroscience and philosophy,
the author utilizes the scientific method and incorporates lessons
learned from a vast array of sources. Based on the most recent
cutting-edge scientific discoveries on the Mind-Body problem,
Tomasi presents a full examination of multiple fields related to
neuroscience. The volume offers a scientist-based and
student-friendly journey into medicine, psychology, artificial
intelligence, embodied cognition, and social, ecological and
anthropological models of perception, to discover our truest self.
This innovative book clarifies the distinction between philosophy
of medicine and medical philosophy, expanding the focus from the
'knowing that' of the first to the 'knowing how' of the latter. The
idea of patient and provider self-discovery becomes the method and
strategy at the basis of therapeutic treatment. It develops the
concept of 'Central Medicine', aimed at overcoming the dichotomies
of Western-Eastern medicine and Traditional-Integrative approaches.
Evidence-based and patient-centered medicine are analyzed in the
context of the debate on placebo and non-specific effects alongside
clinical research on the patient-doctor relationship, and the
interactive nature of human relationships in general, including
factors such as environment, personal beliefs, and perspectives on
life's meaning and purpose. Tomasi's research incorporates
neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, and medicine in a clear,
readable, and detailed way, satisfying the needs of professionals,
students, and anyone who enjoys the exploration of the complexity
of human mind, brain, and heart.

This innovative book concentrates on the important distinction
between philosophy of medicine and medical philosophy, by expanding
the focus from knowing that of the first term to the knowing how of
the latter. Thus, the idea of patient and provider self-discovery
becomes integral part, method, and strategy at the basis of
therapeutic treatment. Among the most important contributions of
this volume, the definition of Central Medicine, overcoming the
dichotomy Western-Eastern medicine and Traditional-Integrative
approaches, is presented under the lenses of hermeneutics, with
particular regards to neurosciences, psychiatry, and psychology.
Evidence-Based and Patient-Centred Medicine are analysed within the
debate on placebo and non-specific effects. Furthermore, the
clinical research presented in the appendix investigates the
patient-doctor relationship, and the interactive nature of human
relationships in general, including environment, personal beliefs,
and perspectives on lifes meaning and purpose. Tomasis research
covers neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, and medicine. In this
book, a wide array of questions and answers pertaining to these
areas is presented in a clear, readable, and detailed way,
satisfying the needs of professionals, students, and anyone who
enjoys the exploration of the complexity of human mind, brain, and
heart.
David Tomasi presents new, ground-breaking research on the science
and application of Mind-Body Medicine strategies to improve
clinical outcomes in inpatient psychiatry settings. Much more than
a list of therapeutic recommendations, this book is a thorough
description of how Mind-Body Medicine can be successfully applied,
from a therapeutic as well as from an organisational,
cost-effective analysis viewpoint, to the full spectrum of
psychiatric treatments. Furthermore, this study examines the role
of multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary treatment teams, with a
special focus on the profession and the role of psychotherapists
and group therapists, thereby providing solid scientific evidence
of the benefits of patient-provider therapeutic alliances. In this
sense, this book serves as a guide for professionals and
institutions both in the private and the public sphere, to learn
effective treatment and management strategies.
