Follow on Google News | Disease and Healing Dynamics by Author Maria Teresa De Donato, Ph.DBy: Maria Teresa De Donato Fascinated and intrigued by the mechanism of health, disease and healing, the placebo effect and the fact that regardless of the kind of therapy which is employed - be it through mainstream or alternative medicine or a combination of them - some people heal while others do not, Maria Teresa De Donato, Ph.D, authored also the book The Dynamics of Disease and Healing - The Role That Perception and Beliefs Play in Our Health and Wellness which she defended as a dissertation for her doctoral degree in Holistic Health. Disease and Healing Dynamics is intended as a shorter version of her research paper. Health is the most precious element in human life and through the holistic approach, which takes into account the complexity of human existence with its physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects, can be better maintained and reestablished. A phenomenon such as the placebo effect, however, that though containing no active ingredients whatsoever still allows some people to heal, has generated in the researcher the curiosity and desire to better understand the dynamics of healing. This work, through its phenomenological descriptive approach, tries to identify what it is that makes healing possible by analyzing the dynamics of disease and healing and the role and extent that the human belief system and perception play in them. The findings are related to the seven case studies examined, whose data collection included field notes and consequent transcripts taken through semi-structured open-ended interviews and observation articulated in three sessions and that are all included in The Dynamics of Disease and Healing - The Role That Perception and Beliefs Play in Our Health and Wellness. Leaving aside the different health issues affecting or having affected the participants, some common themes emerged from the analysis, thus allowing the author to create a classification of health conditions and mental attitudes which either helped the client to improve or even overcome the issue or, to the contrary, prevented healing from happening.
