"A beautiful guidebook of truth and wisdom written by a genuine healer-sage. Bernie Siegel has given us a masterpiece."-- Caroline Myss, author of "Anatomy of the Spirit" and "Sacred Contracts""When we combine the art of healing with the science of curing, modern medicine becomes whole. Thanks, Bernie, for showing the way."-- Larry Dossey, MD, author of "One Mind""We are grateful these days to find a physician who understands the difference between practicing medicine and healing, who values the role of the human psyche in both its pathologizing and healing forms. Dr. Siegel's "Art of Healing" is aptly named, for healing is an art, and healing encompasses the whole person through respecting the dynamic power of the psyche to harm or heal any of us." -- James Hollis, PhD, Jungian analyst and author of "What Matters Most"
