A splendid history of mind-body medicine...a book that desperately needed to be written. -Jerome Groopman, New York Times

The Cure Within Résumé

The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine Anne Harrington (Harvard University)

Is stress a deadly disease on the rise in modern society? Can mind-body practices from the East help us become well? When it comes to healing, we believe we must look beyond doctors and drugs; we must look within ourselves. Faith, relationships, and attitude matter.

But why do we believe such things? From psychoanalysis to the placebo effect to meditation, this vibrant cultural history describes mind-body healing as rooted in a patchwork of stories, allowing us to make new sense of our suffering and to rationalize new treatments and lifestyles.

Splendid...Harrington's study offers a first-rate cultural history of an age-old but still much debated topic. -- Publishers Weekly, starred review
