Perrin Elisha delves into the underlying bias in psychology and psychotherapy that views the mind and body as separate, and that views the mind as having a higher status than the body in all contexts. The author's lively examination of the mind-body split moves from classical ideas all the way up through Western history to modern psychology and the intriguing findings of neuropsychology.
