Love, Medicine, and Miracles - Couverture rigide

When a distinguished American surgeon talks of 'healing' and of 'miracles' we must pay attention. In this bestselling book Dr Bernie Siegel shows that when apparently terminal patients take control of their illness they can change, enrich and often prolong their lives far beyond scientific and medical expectation. Also. by reaching out to others they can alleviate stress and release the body's healing mechanisms.

At the same time Dr Siegel describes how, by changing their attitude to their patients, doctors can give new hope to those who had apparently lost the will to live. Through the healing power of love, patients who have come under his own care have learned that hope, joy and a positive state of mind can work miracles.

Above all, this moving and hopeful book is a remarkable classic of modern medicine which has had - and continues to have - an enormous effect on the way we care for ourselves and others.
