Chris,
Loaded issue. Not a discussion “on one foot.” But you might want to start with Norman Cousins’s books, especially his last: “Head First: The Biology of Hope and the Healing Power of the Human Spirit.”
Also see “The Placebo Effect” put out by Harvard University Press http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog/HARPLA.html
And check out this fact sheet from the FDA http://www.fda.gov/fdac/features/2000/100_heal.html

Sorry, I left out a link for “Head First”: http://www.amazon.com/Head-First-Biology-Healing-Spirit/dp/0140139656
Also check out the NPR programs Norman Cousins Talks on Health http://www.bobrosenbaum.com/nctalks_dnld.html

You should only be well!

Mind/body connection is a major element of appreciative inquiry, the work of David Cooperrider. I am a co-owner of AI Consulting http://www.aiconsulting.org. Check out the goldmine of information at AI Commons http://appreciativeinquiry.case.edu/

Hi Chris,

so, I always appreciate Jon Cabot-Zinn with respect to this subject. He has some great books (http://www.amazon.com/Full-Catastrophe-Living-Wisdom-Illness/dp/0385303122/ref=pd_bbs_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1204844758&sr=1-1)
I am not sure what you are working on, but check Jon out.

Enjoy SXSW. Wish I was going to be there!
