Although the injunction "Know thyself" was inscribed over the site of the Delphic Oracle, the concept is of much more ancient lineage. Thousands of years ago, the wise men of the East had learned to exert authority over a broad range of bodily experiences and functions using techniques that are still taught today. But it is only in the past few decades that the West has become aware once again of the range of control that the central nervous system can maintain over sensation and body function. Medicine has moved slowly in integrating these concepts into the classic medical model of disease despite a growing body of evidence that links emotional state, thought, and imagery to immunocompetence, tissue healing, and bodily vigor. It is precisely the role of a volume such as this, reflecting a fascinating conference in Munich, to emphasize and reemphasize these ideas. We are fortunately well beyond the sterile behaviorism of Watson with its com plete negation of the significance of mental operations. But many still consider suspect those forces and mechanisms, however powerful, that seem to originate from brain-mind activity. The chapters in this book, with their emphases on the mind-body continuum as a bridge to self regulation and health, provide a modern "School of Athens" in bringing these concepts to wider acquaintance."

Find the happiness of emptiness.

Few things scare us more than inner emptiness. The presumed emptiness of coma or dementia scares us so much that we even sign living wills to avoid these states. Yet as Zen masters have long known, inner emptiness can also be productive and useful. We can reach this state through meditation, concentration, music, or even during sex. In fact, our brain loves emptiness ― it makes us happy.

Leading brain researcher Niels Birbaumer investigates the pleasure in emptiness and how we can take advantage of it. He explains how to overcome the evolutionary attentiveness of your brain and take a break from thinking ― a skill that’s more important than ever in an increasingly frantic world.

The impaired brain has often been difficult to rehabilitate owing to limited knowledge of the brain system. Recently, advanced imaging techniques such as fMRI and MEG have allowed researchers to investigate spatiotemporal dynamics in the living human brain. Consequently, knowledge in systems neuroscience is now rapidly growing. Advanced techniques have found practical application by providing new prosthetics, such as brain-machine interfaces, expanding the range of activities of persons with disabilities, or the elderly. The book's chapters are authored by researchers from various research fields such as systems neuroscience, rehabilitation, neurology, psychology and engineering. The book explores the latest advancements in neurorehabilitation, plasticity and brain-machine interfaces among others and constitutes a solid foundation for researchers who aim to contribute to the science of brain function disabilities and ultimately to the well-being of patients and the elderly worldwide.

Dieses Buch ist beispielhaft fUr die interdisziplinare medizinisch-psycho- logische Zusammenarbeit in Forschung und Praxis, fUr die sich auch im deutschen Sprachraum der Begriff Verhaltensmedizin einzubiirgem be- ginnt. Der vorliegende Text sollte zunachst ein Praxishandbuch fUr A.rzte und Psychologen zur Behandlung des Migranekopfschmerzes durch Ver- haltensmodifikation werden. Es ist mehr als das geworden: ein Hand- buch der Migrane, in dem aIle bisherigen Theorien und Erkenntnisse zur Atiologie, Pathogenese und Klinik, aIle bisherigen Erfahrungen und ver- suchten Techniken zur Diagnostik und Therapie der Migrane dargestellt und kritisch gewiirdigt werden. Die AusfUhrungen zeigen die Notwendigkeit und die Moglichkeit der Anwendung sowohl medizinischer als auch psychologischer Untersu- chungs-und Behandlungsverfahren bei vorwiegend psychophysiologisch erkIarbaren Beschwerden undStorungen, ferner, wie wichtig und sinn- voll es ist, psychologische Forschurig und physiologische Forschung als integrierende psychophysiologische Wissenschaft zu betreiben. Die in diesem Buch mitgeteilten psychologischen Behandlungsver- fahren des Migranekopfschmerzes wurden zum GroBteil in einem For- schungsprojekt des Schwerpunktprogrammes "Verhalt!!nsmodifikation" der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft entwickelt und erprobt in Zu- sammenarbeit der Arbeitsbereiche "Klinische und Physiologische Psy- chologie der Universitat Tiibingen" und der "Abteilung Neuropsycho- logie und Neurologische Poliklinik der Universitat Tiibingen". Die Autoren sind Arzte und Klinische Psychologen der beiden Institutionen und anderer in-und auslandischer Forschungsgruppen. AIle sind zu- gleich therapeutisch engagierte Praktiker und Forscher.

Verhaltensmedizin (German, Paperback): Wolfgang Miltner, Niels Birbaumer, W.D. Gerber Verhaltensmedizin (German, Paperback)

Kontakte zwischen Psychologie und anderen Verhaltenswissenschaften mit der Medizin waren bisher fast ausschliesslich auf die Psychiatrie und zu einem geringeren Ausmass auf die Padiatrie beschrankt. In den letzten Jahren haben fruher seltene Kontakte mit den ubrigen medizinischen Disziplinen ein "kritisches" Ausmass erreicht und wachsen rasch weiter: Aus diesen Beziehungen entstand das anregend neue interdisziplinare Gebiet der Verhaltensmedizin (behavioral medicine). Immer mehr Psycho- logen und andere Verhaltenswissenschaftler begannen mit den verschiede- nen Zweigen der Organmedizin zusammenzuarbeiten und entdeckten dabei neue Forschungsgebiete und entwickelten neue und bedeutsame Loesungen fur praktische Anwendungen. Diese Differenzierung zwischen Psychologie, Verhaltenswissenschaften und Medizin stimulierte eine fruchtbare Sym- biose zwischen Laboratorium und Klinik. In diesem Entwicklungsstadium der Verhaltensmedizin ist es zweifellos ein glucklicher Umstand, dass Autoren mit den exzellenten Qualifikationen Birbaumers, Gerbers und Miltners die verschiedenen Entwicklungstendenzen in der Verhaltens- medizin aus beiden Seiten des Atlantiks zusammengefugt haben. Das Inhaltsverzeichnis spiegelt die Breite dieser neuen Disziplin, die in diesem Buch umfassend dargestellt wird, wider. Mehrere Einflussfaktoren trugen zur raschen Entwicklung der Ver- haltensmedizin bei. In den entwickelten Landern ist mit dem Ruckgang der Infektionserkrankungen als Todesursache der Beitrag behavioral-psycho- logischer Faktoren zur Entstehung und Aufrechterhaltung von Krankheit stark angestiegen. Eine Reihe von Studien haben nachgewiesen, dass behaviorale Faktoren wie z. B. Rauchen, zu viel und falsch Essen, Alkohol- missbrauch, Stress und ungeschicktes, feindseliges Typ-A-Verhalten inzwi- schen eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Verursachung von Mortalitat und Morbiditat spielen.
