Editorial Review: The book that will change the way we think about health and illness, The Divided Mind is the crowning achievement of Dr. John E. Sarno's distinguished career as a groundbreaking medical pioneer, going beyond pain to address the entire spectrum of psychosomatic (mindbody) disorders.
The interaction between the generally reasonable, rational, ethical, moral conscious mind and the repressed feelings of emotional pain, hurt, sadness, and anger characteristic of the unconscious mind appears to be the basis for mindbody disorders. The Divided Mind traces the history of psychosomatic medicine, including Freud's crucial role, and describes the psychology responsible for the broad range of psychosomatic illness. The failure of medicine's practitioners to recognize and appropriately treat mindbody disorders has produced public health and economic problems of major proportions in the United States.
One of the most important aspects of psychosomatic phenomena is that knowledge and awareness of the process clearly have healing powers. Thousands of people have become pain-free simply by reading Dr. Sarno's previous books. How and why this happens is a fascinating story, and is revealed in The Divided Mind.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Great Book! Has lead me to succesfull healing.
I was skeptical while I read this book and I still am. However, this book has played a major role in my recovery from 15 years of sever RSI/Carpal Tunnel and 20 years of severe acid reflux/GERD... I am, thanks to this book and the choices it helped me make, completely free from antacids/proton pump inhibitors, acid blockers etc.. and 95% pain free from RSI/Carpal tunnel syndrome. If you're willing to take drugs for pain or illness, or see specialists, or have MRIs and CAT scans, why not try reading ... Read More
Rating: - Dr. Sarno is the best!!!
Once again Dr. John Sarno proved to be the best. He makes so much sense and never fails to hit the nail on the head. What a guy!!!!! The book is easy to read. My pain actually disappeared as I was reading the book.
Rating: - Saved me from further pain and immobility. Priceless!
I can go on writing about my own personal healing story, but since it is more/less simmilar to the other ones, I'll just write what I think may be useful for you people out there, looking to get better.
I was studying Vedic philosophy for over a decade and the concept of mind over matter was not new to me. In fact, 5 years of monastery life trained me to fully accept and integrate that fact into my life, but mostly in the spiritual sense.
I've had back problems for 10 years (starting ... Read More
Rating: - A must read for getting you through ANYTHING!
I'm not done reading this but it has changed things a lot for me already. The mind is such a powerful tool for us to use (we've all heard that before!) but this book really helped me direct what I should be thinking about. I believe in positive thinking and it's effects but this helped me channel my thoughts to the area I needed. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and with concentrating on my thoughts.....yes...alot of my pain has disappeared. I'll always have the disease but if I can control the pain with ... Read More
Rating: - The definitive book on Mind Body Disorders
I highly recommend this book to anyone suffering from pain. I have read many books on the topic, including John Sarno's books. This book is the best book I have ever read on the topic. Having chapters written by physicians incorporating Mind Body medicine into their "conventional" practices is particularly effective (even one written by a surgeon). In addition starting the book with Freud's documented success treating patients with mind body disorders made the book very compelling.
