For those who have read TDM, Sarno also says good things about Pert. From p. 78 in her new book, Pert writes, "But treating the emotional causes of chronic pain is still very much on the outskirts of conventional medicine. An exception is Dr. John Sarno, a New York City physician and author who's had a high rate of success treating patients by addressing emotional conflict as the root of their back pain. And even though it's been shown that an operation on the back is usually not helpful in alleviating suffering in the long term, it remains the method of choice by the mainstream." Later, referring to depression, she writes, "While mainstream's answer to chronic pain is predominantly surgery, the answer for long-term depression is often talk therapy and drugs. But this conditon may also have emotional roots, stemming from early-childhood traumas that are forgotten and kept below awareness in the subconscious mind, which I believe to be the body...Talk therapy addresses mental aspects of depression but ignores the physical relity of the disease, and therefore treats only half the picture." I would highly recommend this book as a companion to Sarno's. It is very much in agreement with Sarno's basic ideas about the connection of mind and body. The only thing that troubled me was her strong support of chiropractic, which I regard as a placebo. On the other hand, she recommends, not your standard bone cracking/popping chiro, but more of an energy chiro to access deeply buried emotions. Maybe there is something to that.
