"More than 30 years ago researchers concluded that every disease is psychosomatic, since emotional factors influence all body processes through nervous and humeral pathways. We now know that stress is an important element in approximately forty diseases and a contributing factor in at least a dozen others."

From Library Journal: It is a tenet of holistic medicine that the body has many ways of healing itself, but the mechanisms by which it does so often have eluded scientific inquiry. In the past decade, practitioners in a cross-disciplinary field known as Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) have begun to explore the relationship of mind, nervous system, and immune system in the healing process. This unique overview of PNI research describes its historical foundations, controversies, and future promises. Of interest to informed laypersons and health specialists, this is recommended for most public libraries and subject collections. Judith Eannarino, George Washington Univ. Lib., Washington, DC
