Description
Description:
Health and well-being are akin to a three-legged stool being supported by one leg of pharmaceuticals; a second leg of surgery; and a third leg of self-care. Whereas the first two legs are awesome in their efficacy, they are not effective in treating 60-90% of visits to health care professionals since these visits are related tos tress and other mind/body interactions. Dr. Benson will describe the therapeutic efficacy of the third leg – especially the usefulness of the relaxation response, belief and spirituality.
Educational Objective:
- To list the two steps necessary for the elicitation of the relaxation response.
- To describe the three components of belief and expectancy necessary to evoke remembered wellness (the placebo effect).
