ABSTRACT

The interest in and popularity of MindBody medicine is rapidly growing. We see the evidence for this statement in the number of books and journal articles that cross our desks daily. Further evidence can be found in the number of books in bookstores in such areas as new age, self-enrichment, psychology, and so on. Although in our opinion many of these works tend to cover areas other than MindBody medicine (e.g., acupuncture, massage), they offer evidence of its popularity.
