Bøger af Jo Marchant

HELBREDELSENS PSYKOLOGI giver os et fascinerende og videnskabeligt velfunderet indblik i, hvorfor alternativ behandling får folk til at få det bedre. I sin øjenåbner af en bog dykker den anerkendte britiske videnskabsjournalist Jo Marchant dybt ned i den nyeste forskning og stiller spørgsmålene: Er tilhængere af alternativ behandling på vildspor eller har de fat i noget? Kan vores tanker, tro og følelser påvirke vores fysiske helbred? Kan vi træne hjernen til at helbrede kroppen? Jo Marchant rejser verden rundt og taler med læger, patienter og forskere. Vi lærer, hvordan meditation kan afhjælpe depression og demens; hvordan sociale relationer øger levealderen; og hvordan patienter som oplever omsorg fra andre kommer sig hurtigere efter en operation. Vi er med, når en transplanteret patient beroliger sit fjendtlige immunforsvar med duften af lavendel og vi møder børn, hvis ADHD kan holdes i skak med den halve dosis medicin, hjulpet af placebo-effekten. HELBREDELSENS PSYKOLOGI er Jo Marchants første bog på dansk.
