MINDING THE BODY
Clinical Uses of Somatic Awareness
Donald Bakal
Guilford Publications, 1999, 2001
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: The reader should be familiar with the research on, and understand the theories behind, the clinical applications of somatic awareness.
This book enumerates the physiological, cognitive, and emotional variables that underlie internal bodily experience, presenting research that closely links specific subjective states to improved health and healing. Bakal suggests ways that somatic awareness may enable patients to harness the placebo effect actively and achieve significant symptom control.

Widely published in the fields of behavioral medicine and health psychology, he is well known for his psychobiological model of chronic headache disorders.
