Mind-Body Medicine

The New Science of Optimal Health

De: Jason M. Satterfield, The Great Courses

Narrado por: Jason M. Satterfield

Cutting-edge research on the brain's interaction with the body shows that health is directly impacted by our social environments, socioeconomic status, culture, behaviors, relationships, psychological states, and habits of mind, among many factors.

Mind-body medicine - working in partnership with traditional medical practice - uses a large range of psychological, physical, and behavioral treatments in a model of health care that aims to treat the whole human being. It provides highly effective resources for prevention and treatment of a wide spectrum of medical conditions-and for fostering the ultimate goals of health care: truly optimal and lasting physical health, as well as emotional and psychological well-being.

In these 36 revealing lectures, Professor Satterfield offers you a comprehensive overview of the field. You'll look in depth at the anatomical and biological systems through which what is "outside" in the environment gets "inside" to affect our minds and bodies. You'll also examine recent research on subjects ranging from the impact our emotions and psychology have on health to the crucial roles that social, cultural, and behavioral factors play. And you'll learn about effective mind-body treatments for many common medical conditions and diseases. Finally, you'll finish the course with a tool box of ideas and interventions for your personal wellness goals, empowering you to partner more effectively with your medical providers and maximize your own health.

One of the Best

This is one of the best Great Courses I’ve studied, and I have done quite a few. I studied a great deal of psychology (including physiological psych) in college, and was afraid I might only be refreshing what I already learned. But I learned so much more!

This course is well organized, clear to follow, and based on solid, broad-based current research. The professor is a pleasure to listen to. I’d take a class with him any time!!

A truely remarkable course

This course was extremely educatioal, funny, surprising and in its own way fun. I suggested it to a friend and will warmly suggest it to others if asked. The lecturer does a fantastic job of not just presenting the issues but thing them up. I recommend you listen to the lectures in order to fully appreciate them.

Superb course. Very well explained and presented.

Great course. Very well explained and the information flow is constant and contextualized. A excellent source of knowledge and especially of understanding of a lot of health issues and diseases. Since I am an anthropologist I completely agree on the value and power of the BioPsychoSocial Model of Optimal Health.

Jason Satterfield presented interesting, useful information about the mind-body connection in an entertaining way. I was sad to finish the course.

Clear, concise data,

Very informative, easy to absorb, useful and made a difference in what I prescribe recommend

Wow one of the best audio programs I have enjoyed

This is one of the best organized presentations I have enjoyed, Thorough, well organized, and engaging. Enough data to make My scientific mind engaged and enough humanity to make it applicable to everyday life. As an educator this was exactly the way I would like to organize any of my lectures in the future!
