The Divided Mind: The Epidemic of Mindbody Disorders
In his groundbreaking, perennially popular book that helped change the way we think about our health - now repackaged for a new generation of readers - Dr Sarno offers a guide to the range of psychosomatic (mindbody) disorders, which can include chronic pain, carpal tunnel, sexual dysfunction, IBS and migraine. He describes their psychology, including how knowledge and awareness can have a restorative impact. Paving the way for bestsellers like The Body Keeps the Score, Sarno was among the first to explore the interaction between the conscious mind and repressed emotional pain in the unconscious mind that can be at the root of such disorders.
John E. Sarno (1923-2017) was a physician and professor of Rehabilitation Medicine at the New York University School of Medicine, and had many notable patients including Howard Stern and Larry David. He was the acclaimed author of three earlier books on musculoskeletal pain.
