Review
“Dr. Sarno brilliantly explores the chasm between the conscious and unconscious minds where psychosomatic ailments originate.” (– Mehmet Oz, M.D., co-author of You: The Owner's Manual )
“I beg anyone seeking a solution to pain to study the amazing and revolutionary approach outlined here.” (– Howard Stern )

Book Description
The book that will change the way we think about health and illness, The Divided Mind is the crowning achievement of Dr. John E. Sarno's distinguished career as a groundbreaking medical pioneer, going beyond pain to address the entire spectrum of psychosomatic (mindbody) disorders.
The interaction between the generally reasonable, rational, ethical, moral conscious mind and the repressed feelings of emotional pain, hurt, sadness, and anger characteristic of the unconscious mind appears to be the basis for mindbody disorders. The Divided Mind traces the history of psychosomatic medicine, including Freud's crucial role, and describes the psychology responsible for the broad range of psychosomatic illness. The failure of medicine's practitioners to recognize and appropriately treat mindbody disorders has produced public health and economic problems of major proportions in the United States.
One of the most important aspects of psychosomatic phenomena is that knowledge and awareness of the process clearly have healing powers. Thousands of people have become pain-free simply by reading Dr. Sarno's previous books. How and why this happens is a fascinating story, and is revealed in The Divided Mind.

A phenominal book that answers ALL your chronic pain and Psychosomatic reaction questions,
By Helping Hand Hypnosis "David" (HelpingHandHypnosis.com) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Divided Mind: The Epidemic of Mindbody Disorders (Hardcover)
This book is fantastic. Even better than the previous Dr.Sarno publication. If you are a skeptic, you need to read this book. If you are in chronic pain, you need to read this book. If you have been let down by the medical industry or "milked" by holistic practitioners, you NEED to read this book. I am a practicing Hypnotherapist who has healed himself using this book, many of my Toronto area clients have been helped tremendously by my incorporation of this book into my practice of pain control and elimination. My personal experience with this book and Dr.Sarno's other books have become the cornerstone for my "Helping Hand Hypnosis" strategy of defeating chronic pain and TMS manifestations such as Tinitus, Carpul Tunnel Syndrome, Tendinitis etc. Everyone experiences some form of mindbody disorder in their life at sometime, be it headache, stomache ache, "nerves", allergies or harmless, transient symptoms like blushing. Until the medical community can explain the mechanics of blushing, don't be so eager to dispell the information in this insightful and marvellous book. Your doctor is missing the picture, as is your chiropractor, physiotherapist etc. DRUGS ARE NOT THE ANSWER!! THis book is!! Buy it, read it again and again. YOU WILL BE PAIN FREE-it just takes understanding and a little effort on your part. Anyone giving this book a poor review is ignorant in the most harmless sense of the word. Everyone I have recommended this book to or seen as a Helping Hand Hypnosis Hypnotherapy client HAS MADE DRAMATIC IMPROVEMENTS. This is no placebo, (unlike passive therapies) - this is the answer. Buy this book, invest in your total relief from Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, Migraines, Reflux etc etc. Sound too good to be true? Read it and be liberated.

Uncanny and unbelievable!!!,
By Joanna (Toronto, ON) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Divided Mind: The Epidemic of Mindbody Disorders (Paperback)
Uncanny and unbelievable as this may sound, Dr. Sarno's theories seem to have healed my chronic leg pain... I'm still in shock: used to have debilitating daily sciatica pains, and have had very little or nothing since reading his books about a month ago. The pain seems to have tapered down to nothing.The original book of his that I'd read then was the Mindbody Prescription (from the local library), then I went and bought The Divided Mind, hoping to satisfy curiosity about the theory's latest developments, etc. The latter expands its chronic pain realm into that of autoimmune disorders, cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, etc. Each chapter is written by a physician working in that particular field. Interesting, and certainly worth the read. If you're suffering from chronic/ongoing pain that seems to lack pattern in when and/or where it strikes, definitely give Dr. Sarno's ideas a try! **** Update (about a year later) -- the pain has come back with a vengeance.... will go back to work on it. The people I've talked to who had permanent results with Dr. Sarno's techniques, tended to get psychologists involved in helping them work through their TMJ issues.

This review is from: The Divided Mind: The Epidemic of Mindbody Disorders (Paperback)
I had back pain for over a year, tried every therapy you could imagine, was recommended for surgery, but didn't want to go that route. Thank goodness I didn't because Dr. Sarno's book cured me within a month :) I am now living pain free and know how to combat any other physical problems thanks to his books. Highly recommend this book to anyone, especially anyone with chronic pain.
