Beschreibung:
The first of its kind, this book is unique in examining the influence and power of beliefs in medicine. Beliefs are one of the key factors considered to underpin and validate the biopsychosocial model of medicine, which considers factors outside the biological process of illness when trying to understand health and disease. In this approach, a person's social context and psychological well-being are key factors in their illness and recovery, along with theirthoughts, beliefs and emotions. 'The Power of Belief' brings together experts from science and medicine to provide a unique account of the role and influence that beliefs play in aetiology, treatment, and recovery, for both the clinician and the patient.
