Reviews
"This excellent book offers a sophisticated, clinically oriented look at the mind-body relationship. Bakal succeeds in usefully defining somatic awareness, and convincingly demonstrates the importance of the topic. This book could have a significant effect on psychological and medical practice." --Charles Swencionis, PhD, Albert Einstein College of Medicine "At long last, a scholarly book about somatic awareness has been written by a distinguished clinician and researcher. Minding the Body is comprehensive, spanning conventional psychology to energy cardiology. It should be required reading for students in clinical and health psychology, medicine, and nursing, and for all professionals using techniques that involve somatic awareness." --Gary E. R. Schwartz, PhD, Professor of Psychology, Medicine, Neurology, and Psychiatry, University of Arizona, Throughout the text, Bakal weaves the scientific evidence for a gamut of mind-body conditions and constructs it into a tapestry of facts illustrating the importance of somatic awareness on health., "Throughout the text, Bakal weaves the scientific evidence for a gamut of mind-body conditions and constructs it into a tapestry of facts illustrating the importance of somatic awareness on health."--Canadian Psychology

Synopsis
Focuses on the evidence that somatic awareness - the ability to perceive, interpret, and act upon the basis of one's own internal bodily sensations - can be a powerful tool in maintaining health and facilitating recovery from illness. This book examines the nature of somatic awareness and evaluates its clinical utility across a wide range of medical conditions, including migraine, unexplained dizziness and shortness of breath, and immune system illnesses such as arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and cancer. Integrating holistic and traditional health care considerations, chapters describe how mental health medical practioners can help patients harness "the placebo effect" and other inner resources for healing., There is growing scientific evidence that how we experience our bodies can powerfully influence whether we get sick, how we get sick, and how we manage illness. Somatic awareness--the ability to perceive, interpret, and act on the basis of internal bodily sensations--is at the cutting edge of the mind-body interface. Such awareness is a key factor in many forms of self-regulatory therapy, including relaxation and biofeedback. Grounded in the existing research, this book identifies the somatic experiences associated with health and well-being and describes how awareness of these states can be a powerful clinical tool. Integrating empirical data, case examples, and pointers for practice, Bakal uses a psychobiological framework to build a much-needed bridge between traditional and alternative health care approaches. The book first enumerates the physiological, cognitive, and emotional variables that underlie internal bodily experience, presenting research that closely links specific subjective states to improved health and healing. Somatization symptoms are then shown to result from an insufficient awareness of inner physical states: Many individuals only "notice" the body when their reactions reach symptomatic or illness levels. Bakal describes the clinical applications of these findings for such anxiety- and pain-related disorders as migraine, unexplained dizziness and shortness of breath, benign chest pain, and asthma. Thought-provoking findings on placebos and self-regulation are discussed, and the book suggests ways that somatic awareness may enable patients to actively harness the placebo effect and achieve significant symptom control. Broadening the scope of the discussion to include immune system illnesses, Bakal shows how reducing bodily tension, fatigue, and stress through somatic awareness may play a significant role in the clinical management of arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and cancer. The book's final chapter looks at therapeutic touch, biofeedback, and breathing retraining. A brief overview of each modality is provided, and general principles are delineated for how patients can be guided to develop and use conscious awareness of somatic states to promote their physical well-being. Synthesizing scientific data from many different areas of research, the book makes the dimensions of somatic awareness understandable to clinicians in a range of settings. Its clear, accessible style will enhance its appeal to a broad audience of health psychologists, behavioral medicine specialists, and other mental health and medical professionals interested in holistic health care approaches., Examines the nature of somatic awareness and evaluates its clinical utility. Integrating holistic and traditional health care considerations, chapters describe how mental health medical practioners can help patients harness "the placebo effect" and other inner resources for healing.
