Consumer demand for integrative medicine has increased over recent decades, and cutting-edge research in neuroscience has identified opportunities for new treatment options. This text outlines the evidence behind mind-body medicine and provides rich case-based examples.. It is written by a clinician, for clinicians, to help practitioners stay current in this emerging field.Including foundational chapters on the relevance of mind-body medicine, the effects of stress, communication skills, and methods for incorporating mind-body medicine into consultation, this book then introduces various mind-body therapies and considers their use in selected clinical conditions. The therapies are grouped into chapters on breath work and relaxation; hypnosis and guided imagery; meditation, mindfulness, spirituality, and compassion-based therapies; creative arts therapies; and movement therapies. Each chapter includes case studies, background and history, best use, training requirements, risks and benefits. The part focusing on specific conditions updates research and provides pediatric and adult examples in the areas of: anxiety and depression; acute and chronic pain; gastrointestinal and urologic conditions; auto-immune, inflammatory; and surgery, oncology, and other conditions.Providing resources and practical tools to help clinicians incorporate evidence-based mind-body medicine therapies into patient care, this book is an invaluable reference for medical and nursing students, as well as for residents, fellows, nurse practitioners and physician assistants across a wide variety of specialties.
An incredibly innovative book for the clinician!! All providers whether physical therapists, nurses, psychologists, physicians, social workers can benefit from using mind-body therapies as part of their therapeutic arsenal. Specific language to teach patients about breathwork, relaxation techniques, movement therapies, etc.. is one of the highlights of this book. To implement mind-body therapies in practice is much different than understanding it and Dr. McClafferty does such an outstanding job of teaching this in her book. Mind-body medicine is now one of the most effective therapies for patients with acute and chronic conditions that hospitals and practices are now incorporating as part of their standard of care. I find this will also be helpful for patients, as motivation and understanding for a home mind-body practice is encouraged with the extensive evidence and patient stories in this book.
