A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

When a distinguished American surgeon talks of 'healing' and of 'miracles' we must pay attention. In this bestselling book Dr Bernie Siegel shows that when apparently terminal patients take control of their illness they can change, enrich and often prolong their lives far beyond scientific and medical expectation. Also. by reaching out to others they can alleviate stress and release the body's healing mechanisms.

At the same time Dr Siegel describes how, by changing their attitude to their patients, doctors can give new hope to those who had apparently lost the will to live. Through the healing power of love, patients who have come under his own care have learned that hope, joy and a positive state of mind can work miracles.

Above all, this moving and hopeful book is a remarkable classic of modern medicine which has had - and continues to have - an enormous effect on the way we care for ourselves and others.

Biographie de l'auteur :

Bernie Siegel, M.D. embraces a philosophy that is at the forefront of a society grappling with medical ethics and spiritual issues. His books, Love, Medicine and Miracles published in 1986, Peace, Love and Healing in 1989, and How to Live Between Office Visits in 1993, have broken new ground in the field of healing. Over the span of twenty years, physicians have become increasingly more receptive to his message. Bernie's efforts have now turned toward humanizing medical care and medical education, and he continues to travel extensively with his wife Bobbie, to speak and run workshops, sharing his techniques and experiences. Bernie and Bobbie have five children and six grandchildren (so far).
