Dr. John E. Sarno's groundbreaking research on Tension Myositis
Syndrome reveals how stress and other psychological factors can
cause back pain-and how you can be pain free without drugs,
exercise, or surgery. Dr. Sarno is a medical pioneer whose program
has helped thousands of people find relief from chronic back
conditions without drugs, physical therapy, or dangerous surgery.
In this bestselling guide to overcoming back pain, you'll find out:
* Why self-motivated and successful people are prone to Tension
Myositis Syndrome (TMS) * How anxiety and repressed anger trigger
muscle spasmsHow people "train themselves" to experience back pain
* How you may get relief from back pain within two to six weeks by
recognizing TMS and its causes With case histories and the results
of in-depth mind-body research, Dr. Sarno describes how patients
recognize the emotional roots of their TMS and sever the
connections between mental and physical pain... and how, just by
reading this book, you may start recovering from back pain today.
The book that will change the way we think about health and
illness, "The Divided Mind" is the crowning achievement of Dr. John
E. Sarno's distinguished career as a groundbreaking medical
pioneer, going beyond pain to address the entire spectrum of
psychosomatic (mindbody) disorders.
The interaction between the generally reasonable, rational,
ethical, moral conscious mind and the repressed feelings of
emotional pain, hurt, sadness, and anger characteristic of the
unconscious mind appears to be the basis for mindbody disorders.
"The Divided Mind" traces the history of psychosomatic medicine,
including Freud's crucial role, and describes the psychology
responsible for the broad range of psychosomatic illness. The
failure of medicine's practitioners to recognize and appropriately
treat mindbody disorders has produced public health and economic
problems of major proportions in the United States.
One of the most important aspects of psychosomatic phenomena is
that knowledge and awareness of the process clearly have healing
powers. Thousands of people have become pain-free simply by reading
Dr. Sarno's previous books. How and why this happens is a
fascinating story, and is revealed in "The Divided Mind,"
The New York Times bestselling guide to a healthy and pain-free
life. Musculoskeletal pain disorders have reached epidemic
proportions in the United States, with most doctors failing to
recognize their underlying cause. In this acclaimed volume, Dr.
Sarno reveals how many painful conditions-including most neck and
back pain, migraine, repetitive stress injuries, whiplash, and
tendonitises-are rooted in repressed emotions, and shows how they
can be successfully treated without drugs, physical measures, or
surgery. My life was filled with excruciating back and shoulder
pain until I applied Dr. Sarno's principles, and in a matter of
weeks my back pain disappeared. I never suffered a single symptom
again...I owe Dr. Sarno my life. - Howard Stern
