It is about what can happen when one takes seriously the connections between the presenting physical symptoms and the patient's story. The book recognizes that a patient's story is a woven tapestry of events, perceptions of events and responses to events, all of which have meaning for an illness.  This book is about what can happen when one takes seriously the connections between the presenting physical symptoms and the patient's story.  The story is a woven tapestry of events, perceptions of events and responses to events, all of which have meaning for an illness.  Despite the highest incidence of psychological distress being made manifest in the form of bodily symptoms, there is very little knowledge and expertise regarding the recognition and management of patients.  Extensively illustrated with case studies, Dr. Broom's book is an important and timely contribution to the effort to remedy this gap in our knowledge.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49547672551697,"sku":"GOR001360072","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52487132905745,"sku":"NLS9781853433818","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1853433810.jpg?v=1751378996"},{"product_id":"transforming-clinical-practice-using-the-mindbody-approach-book-brian-broom-9781780490618","title":"Transforming Clinical Practice Using the MindBody Approach","description":"This book assumes that it is no longer tenable to work in healthcare without considering the person as a whole being constituted by a rich weaving of mind, body, culture, family, spirit and ecology. The MindBody approach embraces this 'whole.' But how does it transform clinical practice and training for the clinician and treatment for the patient\/client? The book collects together the experiences from a diverse range of clinical practitioners (including psychotherapy, specialist medicine, general practice, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, dietetics, , nursing, and complementary and alternative medicine practitioners) who have deliberately chosen to integrate a MindBody philosophy and skill set in their clinical practices. All reflect deeply on their unique journeys in transforming their clinical encounters. Most have been trained in the dominant Western framework and have inherited the classical dualistic approach which typically keeps mind and body apart. This dualistic clinical ethos values clinician expertise, labeling, diagnosis, measurement, and grouped phenomena. The MindBody approach retains the best of the classical model as well as valuing personal experience, patient\/client story, the unique patterning of the individual's illness and disease, and the healing elements of the relationship between the clinician and the patient\/client. The MindBody transformation of the clinician is a challenging journey, and each clinician experiences this uniquely. From these stories the reader can see vividly the ways in which conventional healthcare can break out of its current restrictive paradigm creating new satisfaction for the clinicians and much wider treatment outcomes for patients and clients.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50253626671377,"sku":"GOR009386619","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52672062423313,"sku":"NLS9781780490618","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53377386119441,"sku":"NIN9781780490618","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53615848358161,"sku":"GOR014982801","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1780490615.jpg?v=1751344519"},{"product_id":"meaning-full-disease-book-brian-broom-9781855754638","title":"Meaning-Full Disease","description":"The book is grounded upon Brian Broom's extensive professional involvement with physical diseases that are a powerful expression of the patients' emotional themes and life-stories. They are meaning-full diseases. They occur commonly, and are the most compelling argument for an urgent acknowledgment of the role of meanings in the healing process. Following the pattern of his first book, Somatic Illness and the Patient's Other Story, Broom shows in case after case that listening and responding to the \"story\" of patients suffering from persistent physical diseases frequently leads to major reversal of the disease processes.  This present book takes a crucial second step. There must be an understandable basis for meaning-full diseases. Resistance to them relates in part to the inability of current Western scientific and biomedical theories to explain them. Broom sets out to construct conceptual frameworks, within which clinicians and patients can see that a close relationship between life experience and the appearance of physical disease really does make sense. His unapologetic grappling with the intellectual challenges comes with depth, breadth, and clarity, and appeals to a wide audience, including clinicians of all kinds - from doctors to psychotherapists - scientists, and serious lay-readers.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50392886542609,"sku":"CIN1855754630G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51218085183761,"sku":"GOR008821761","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52650173202705,"sku":"GOR006729804","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1855754630.jpg?v=1750899081"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-brian-broom.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
