SPIRITS WITH SCALPELS: THE CULTURAL BIOLOGY of RELIGIOUS HEALING

摘要

[...] the book offers a clearly written summary of Rossi's psychobiological model of "hypnotically facilitated therapy," which proposes a plausible pathway between a suggestion and its effect on the body. According to Rossi's model, those beliefs and suggestions, once internalized, are encoded in the brain and then transduced into the coding of the body's pain-killing and self-healing processes.
