The Mystery of Healing: Adventures in the World of Alternative Healing
|
| | | In this book, Dr. Stephen A. Appelbaum sets out on an odyssey to explore healing and its mysteries. The focus of his journey is to expand and explore the boundaries of everyday Western medicine and its often unquestioned assumptions about healing and its implications for living today. He studies -- and experiences firsthand -- such "healing" rituals and techniques as LSD, voodoo, bare hand surgery, and many varieties of folk medicine and religious healings. In a penetrating final chapter, Appelbaum delineates the importance of belief and faith, and how each affects the outcome of any healing intervention. This fascinating study of healing around the world is at once entertaining and informative, curious and courageous.
