Sylvia Olney, "The Medicalization of Psychotherapy: Practicing under the Influence" English | 2015 | ISBN: 0739197029 | PDF | pages: 236 | 1.3 mb The Medicalization of Psychotherapy: Practicing under the Influence is an ethnographic account of the practice of clinical psychology under the reductionist auspices of biomedicine. Using Peircean semiotic analysis focusing in particular on modes in meaning-making, Sylvia Olney proposes that consciousness should be accorded the same conceptual and value status as "nature" and the human body. This would resolve the psyche/soma split as mirrored both within and between the practice disciplines of medicine and psychotherapy, and could also free practitioners and client/patients from the idea of essential helplessness in the face of biology, a notion which happens to contribute to the vested interests of the pharmaceutical and insurance industries. Given the advances of neuroscience and psychoneuroimmunology that support the recognition of force-like dimensions of mind and intention, The Medicalization of Psychotherapy helps to restore the practice of psychotherapy to the significant healing art it has actually been: the healing of consciousness.

For those companies that do survive the "silicon wave" sweeping through the global economy, the issue becomes how to keep their humanity amidst the tumult.  The Healing Connection (PB): The Story of a Physician's Search for the Link between Faith and Health By Harold G. Koenig 2007 | 217 Pages | ISBN: 1932031650 | PDF | 2 MB The name Harold G.

Dr. Koenig is recognized worldwide for his groundbreaking work in medical science and religious faith. In this booknow available in paperbackhe shares his remarkable personal story and shows how personal trials became the catalyst for his pioneering research. In Part One he describes his turbulent youth: growing up on a California vineyard, college days of experimentation during the 1970s, adventures as a student researcher in Africa with Jane Goodall, an emotional breakdown, expulsion from medical school for disruptive behavior, battling mental illness as a street person in San Francisco. He refers to his ongoing battle with a chronic and debilitating physical disease in terms of the insights it gives him for his work and he recounts the striking realization of Gods call, the people and events that helped him refine a vision into a mission and the subsequent professional opposition that resided alongside his success. Part Two draws on the real-life examples of former patients and summarizes Koenigs most important findings concerning the impact of Christian faith on mental and physical health, encapsulated by the statement: Religious faith and practice are connected to mental and physical health. In Part Three he challenges individuals and the American church to consider the implications of the research and to develop constructive ways of implementing the healing connection that can be found in faith.
