 As reviewed by New York Times best-selling author Ellen Tanner Marsh  One of the most incredible ideas in modern science is that the mind can indeed influence the body. Even more amazing is the fact that psychology can actually influence the health of a patient. Cancer is perhaps the most dreaded disease of our lifetime, yet there are new treatments and pioneering new approaches to deal with this scourge. In mega-talented author Rob van Overbruggen 's fascinating new book, he presents a revolutionary treatment that bridges mainstream psychology with innovative psychological cancer treatments – and in doing so he creates a veritable miracle of healing.  This is a groundbreaking research paper that reads more like a page-turning novel. Full of absorbing case studies, Van Overbruggen presents some of the most provocative and mind-bending cancer research around. Although no studies have proven that patients can control the course of their cancers, there is a strong anecdotal evidence that shows patients can and do heal themselves. How is this miracle of all miracles possible? And how can therapists and doctors help patients to travel on this extraordinary new healing path?  In gorgeous, lucid prose, Van Overbruggen explains his world-shattering views on healing and discusses cancer from a medical and psychosomatic perspective. Are there certain personality traits that encourage cancer? Do patients with more positive self images have more spontaneous remissions?  Perhaps the most marvelous part of the book is the explorations of the therapeutic applications. This section is full of thoughtful and profound questions to help influence a patient's mindset more beneficially. As soon as there is a psychological change, Van Overbruggen says, a physical change can be observed.  This is a staggeringly brilliant and important book. Although nor primarily meant to be a self-help book for patients (its main intent is for the therapists and doctors), this is a book that offers hope and healing, and it does it in a way that changes your whole world view for the better. And what could be more extraordinary than that?  With this influential book, Van Overbruggen has done what many would consider impossible: he has pit the possibility of miracles right in the grateful readers' hands. |
