<p>Shiatsu or therapeutic touch, aromatherapy or<br />
homoepathy? Anybody seeking help beyond orthodox<br />
medical treatment has a bewildering variety of<br />
complementary techniques and alternative therapies<br />
to choose from.<br />
In The Psychology of Healing, Murry Hope surveys the<br />
healing arts from the earliest days of ancient Egypt<br />
to the latest discoveries in the fields of science and<br />
complementary medicine.<br />
In examining the majority of healing methods in use<br />
today, she explores their history, how they work,<br />
who would be most likely to benefit and<br />
the psychology underlying each one.<br />
Well researched, informal and eminently<br />
readable, this is a book that lay reader and<br />
professional alike will find indispensable.</p>
