The Divided Mind
Divided Mind, The: The Epidemic of Mindbody Disorders (Abridged)
The Divided Mind is the crowning achievement of Dr. John E. Sarno’s long and successful career as a groundbreaking medical pioneer. While his earlier books dealt almost exclusively with musculoskeletal pain disorders, here Dr. Sarno address the entire spectrum of psychosomatic (mindbody) disorders.
In Dr. Sarno’s view, the crucial interaction between the reasonable, rational, ethical, moral conscious mind and the repressed feelings of emotional pain, hurt, sadness and anger characteristic of the unconscious mind is the basis for many mindbody disorders.
The Divided Mind traces the history of psychosomatic medicine, including Freud’s crucial role as well as his failures. Most important, it describes the psychology of the human condition that is responsible for the broad range of psychosomatic illness. Dr. Sarno believes that 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 interesting and important aspects of psychosomatic phenomena is the fact that knowledge and awareness of the process clearly have healing powers.
Includes an interview with the author, by Joe McNeely, Audio Evolution.

Narrator: Paul Hecht and James Boles
I have previously purchased the Healing Back Pain: The Mind-Body ConnectionCD and I believe Dr. Sarno narrated it himself. I think he did a good job, but probably would not want to listen to it at midnight while driving cross country. Maybe more people will like the professional narration of Paul Hecht and James Boles. Although Dr. Sarno's books are brilliant, I doubt even James Earl Jones could make them sound exciting. |

The voice on it is awful. I wish that Dr. Sarno had recorded it.
