 | | Mind you, any emotional response could have its place if it is appropriate to the situation, is not 'over-expressed' or 'under-expressed' and is left in the past once the situation is over. | | | Employing the mind and emotions includes learning to relax, to communicate, to resolve long held emotional and personal issues, to learn to open up to other as in group therapy, and looking for meaning and purpose in ones life situation. | | | In medicine the emphasis has tended to focus on the human body but often ignored a holistic perspective, that is the body's interaction with mind, emotion, social environment, and spirit. |

| | Mind-Body Medicine: An Overview |
| | As medicine separated the mind and the body, scientists of the mind (neurologists) formulated concepts, such as the unconscious, emotional impulses, and cognitive delusions, that solidified the perception that diseases of the mind were not "real," that is, not based in physiology and biochemistry. | | | Mind-body medicine focuses on the interactions among the brain, mind, body, and behavior, and the powerful ways in which emotional, mental, social, spiritual, and behavioral factors can directly affect health. | | | Meditation, one of the most common mind-body interventions, is a conscious mental process that induces a set of integrated physiological changes termed the relaxation response. |

| | In fact, the concept behind the study of yoga is the integration of mind and body, explained by the observation that when the mind is restless and agitated, the health of the body will be adversely affected, and that when the body is ill, mental functioning will be compromised. | | | A substantial body of literature exists to support the effectiveness of music therapy, and music therapy is oftentimes integrated into various forms of meditation that can be a very powerful stress reduction and healing therapy. | | | Music therapy is the prescribed use of music and musical interventions in order to restore, maintain, and improve emotional, physical, physiological, and spiritual health and well-being. |

| | In her meta-analysis of over 102 studies, Devine concludes that "based on the research reviewed, psychoeducational interventions reliably facilitate the recovery of surgical patients." The greatest benefits were found in the reduction of medical complications, quicker return to normal activities after surgery, reduced patient pain and improved psychological well-being. | | | A thorough review of the literature demonstrates that Bennett's hypothesis is true: the best outcomes from pre-operative mind/body interventions are derived when the intervention involves specific "training" of the body and mind, through specific physiologic instructions that prepare the body for the rigors of surgery. | | | In this special edition of Mind and Body, we will review the latest research on mind/body interventions which are capable of speeding our recovery after surgery, minimizing post-operative pain, decreasing blood loss and reducing anxiety. |
