The Divided Mind
The Epidemic of Mindbody Disorders
Book • 2007
In 'The Divided Mind', Dr. John E. Sarno explores the interaction between the conscious and unconscious mind as the basis for mindbody disorders.
The book traces the history of psychosomatic medicine, including Freud's contributions, and describes the psychology underlying a broad range of psychosomatic illnesses.
Dr. Sarno argues that repressed emotions such as anger, sadness, and anxiety are often the root cause of chronic pain conditions like back pain, neck pain, and fibromyalgia.
He emphasizes the healing power of knowledge and awareness, citing cases where patients have become pain-free simply by understanding the mindbody connection.
The book also stresses the importance of self-care and self-discovery in treating chronic pain.
