Special Fields
DescriptionThe director of UMass Medical Center's Stress Reduction Clinic, which was featured on Bill Moyers' Healing and the Mind, explores the ancient roots of medicine and shows us how to introduce mindfulness into the crucible of the healing relationship, so that both patients and caregivers begin to acknowledge that we are all wounded and we are all whole. His approach revolutionizes the dynamics of the patient/practitioner relationship. In describing the classes at the clinic and the transformation that takes place in this alchemical process, he offers insights and effective methods for cultivating mindfulness in our everyday lives. |
