 "What about God and psychiatric medicine? Though theirs has never been a happy marriage, particularly in the more conservative realms of American Christianity, you would never know it nowadays on Christian drive-time radio. On any day in Dallas, for example, one can tune in to a popular radio show called New Life Live and hear dialogues between Dr. Paul Meier, the show's host, and a variety of traditional Christians in psychological pain. One day a few years ago, a young woman called in to ask for advice regarding her abusive, philandering boyfriend."- Greg Critser, Generation Rx: How Prescription Drugs are Altering American Lives, Minds, and Bodies (Get the book.) |
 "Though it has yet to be appreciated by either physical or psychiatric medicine, unconscious emotions are a potent factor in virtually all physical, nontraumatic ills. I gave this book the title The Divided Mind because it is in the interaction of the unconscious and conscious minds that psychosomatic disorders originate. Those traits that reside in the unconscious that we consider the most troublesome, like childishness, dependency, or the capacity for savage behavior, are the products of an old, primitive part of the brain, anatomically deep, just above the brain stem."- John E. Sarno, M.D., The Divided Mind: The Epidemic of Mindbody Disorders (Get the book.) "Psychosomatic processes begin in the unconscious and, though it has yet to be widely appreciated by either physical or psychiatric medicine, unconscious emotions are a potent factor in virtually all physical ills. Unfortunately, Freud is not the father of psychosomatic medicine, for he did not realize that his patients' physical symptoms were induced by the brain to serve a psychological purpose, which is our definition of a psychosomatic disorder." - John E.
