"We need changes in our attitudes, our understanding of illness, our acceptance of non-allopathic practitioners, the economics of how we pay for health care, and our entire professional medical-legal system in which medical boards often act within the law to protect and defend the guild of conventional medicine under the guise of 'scientific proof.'... I present a template that combines economics, psychology, medicine, physiology, and mythology. It can serve as support and guidance for making the changes necessary for a new model of medicine in the twenty-first century." --Dr. Robert J. Zieve Dr. Zieve presents a new paradigm for health care that shows us how to go beyond the limitations and severe deficiencies of our current sickness care system. It embraces and synthesizes the emerging models of integrative medicine, energy medicine, and energy psychology into an effective and affordable approach to healing for everyone. This guide is for both those wish to provide a more complete form of health care for their patients and also for those individuals who are prepared to make the necessary changes in daily life in order to initiate or maintain a movement toward healing. This includes understanding the daily disciplines of a healing process, the deeper psychological processes of illness, and the creative arts in their therapeutic roles.

"A family's legacy crumbles in the face of addiction in Paul V. O'Leary's poignant new memoir, Intoxicated by Life. Jack O'Leary, a first-generation Irish American, is a rising star in America's booming business world - and he's happy to take his beautiful wife, Mary, along for the ride. But marriage is anything but smooth for the young couple, as they must cope with the deaths of three parents and a child within the first four years of their union. While both Jack and Mary seem to recover quickly, soon welcoming four more children and enjoying a climb up the social ranks due to Jack's success in the banking industry, a persistent undercurrent threatens to sweep away everything they have worked so hard for. That current, fueled by the couple's insatiable need for alcohol, eventually leads the O'Leary family into a downward spiral that can only end in tragedy." --From the back cover.
