Great resource! Jun 19, 2008
"Healing Psyche is a treasure trove of rigorous research on the mind-body connection for cancer - all presented in practical ways that both doctors and their patients can access and implement easily. Quite frankly, this book could save your life."

Thank you, Dr. van Overbruggen Nov 12, 2007
Thank you, Dr. Rob van Overbruggen! You have really done a great service for humanity with this phenomenal work. With the use of volumes of research by some of the most respected names in both psychological cancer treatment and overall MindBody healing studies you have catapulted the MindBody Connection premise by ions; and, by your comprehensive overview have given us in the field some much needed validation. This work is a guidebook, not only for therapists who are working to help cancer patients become active participants in their own healing journey, but also for the cancer patients themselves to study and do their own introspection and, consequently, make the changes within that may be called for. Everything is coming together now for all of us to begin to believe that the word Cancer is not synonomous with death. Healing Psyche is a must read for anyone who doubts the power of the mind to heal or the power of the body to heal itself when blocks to healing have been removed; and, it has come at the perfect time as people's minds are becoming more open to alternative and complementary therapies since Traditional Medicine does not, obviously, have all the answers. The bottom line is 'WE WANT TO LIVE'. Healing Psyche is about giving power back to cancer patients and about cooperation with Medical Staff so that the patient can benefit from the best efforts of a healing team. Anyone who has studied cancer treatment or has been involved with a loved one who has been diagnosed learns quite quickly that what is a cure for one person is not necessarily the answer for the next person. That is why cancer is so difficult to cure; it behaves differently in each person. Chemo, unfortunately, doesn't have the success rate of Penicillin. And that is mostly because germs are outside invaders and cancer is a reaction of the body to something within the MindBody itself. Healing Psyche provides a great deal of proof for that theory along with the processes that may be an aid to healing. It is a monumental thesis written in a way that makes it useable by the patient. I am very grateful for the dedication and expertise that went into this healing guide.

Mind/Body Therapy Dec 20, 2006
It is becoming more generally accepted, both in the medical community and in the general populace, that the connection between mind and body is such a close one that these two aspects of experience may truly be seen not as two separate entities but as two aspects of ONE phenomenon: the "whole" human being. One aspect is gross material, and the other non-material: body and mind respectively. If this premise is accepted, then it is certain that what goes on in the mind will affect the body, and vice-versa. This is a fast-growing realization, and a powerful motivation toward investigating how one may work with the mind in order to create and sustain physical health.
Rob van Overbruggen's book addresses this point exactly, and it does so with considerable skill, using simple, direct language to produce a clear and accurate description that truly enlightens the ideas surrounding the whole field of what is popularly termed Mind/Body Therapy. Also, though he has a specific concentration in this work, all that he says can easily and effectively be transferred to apply to any physical malady.
Without reservation, I recommend this book to all of those interested in the premise ofthis book.
