Healing the Mind Through the Power of Story

“This wonderful book is deep, moving, honest, educational, and will open your mind to the power of storytelling to heal and know more intimately the vastness of our beings. As a physician and indigenous healer, Lewis Mehl-Madrona uniquely blends his knowledge of science and the greater mysteries to help us SEE more clearly.” * Judith Orloff, M.D., author of Second Sight *
“Lewis Mehl-Madrona combines an emerging modern understanding of the power of story to change minds and brains with a traditional recognition of the shaping power of story.” * Dr. Brian Boyd, author of On the Origin of Stories *
“This book will revolutionize how we think about psychological healing, giving us new tools to achieve harmony and balance in all aspects of our lives.” * Hyla Cass, M.D., author of 8 Weeks to Vibrant Health *
“… Healing the Mind Through the Power of Story is an excellent account of a relatively new perspective of mental health treatment. Mehl-Madrona’s explanations of the need for alternative treatments to medications and specific treatment goals for patients with serious mental disorders are well presented. The only concerns brought about by this approach to mental health are public opinion and compliance. The world still lives by the promise of a pill as the cure for any disease, and it is still difficult to get people to accept alternatives to that paradigm, especially in psychology.” * American Psychological Association, February 2011 *
