Summary

Healing Body, Mind and Spirit goes beyond the conventional treatment of eating disorders and speaks to the transformative potential of tapping into a deeper level of healing. Integrative medicine takes into account the whole person - body, mind and spirit and uses both conventional therapies and complementary approaches to awaken the individuals own self-healing potential. The integrative medicine approach to treating eating disorders developed by the author goes beyond the understanding that eating disorders can be described by their biological, physiological and genetic basis. Healing Body, Mind and Spirit examines the emotional underpinnings, core beliefs and the deeper urges of the soul yearning for expression in those who suffer from these life-threatening conditions.
