Book excerpt: This book is a summary of the experiences and knowledge acquired by the author as a caregiver of his wife, herself a cancer patient for almost thirty years, as a researcher in the field of integral medicine, and as a Psycho-Oncologist, providing therapy and education to clients in the province of Alberta. Many books have been written on the psychobiology of health and healing and on the wisdom accummulated by the bodymind since inception. The research of Dr. Milton Erickson, his disciples and many other has already demonstrated that emotions and beliefs are most important components in the equation sickness-health. Through personal experiences as a prisoner in concentration camps and torture chambers, the author demonstrates how much control the individual has over emotions, pain and pain management.
