O. Carl Simonton

Heraus aus dem Kerker der Hoffnungslosigkeit ! Zurück ins Leben! Simonton erläutert in Grundzügen das Therapie-Konzept seines Simonton Cancer Center und wie konkrete Behandlungsschritte zu Hause nachvollzogen und angewendet werden können. In einem zweiten Teil schildert ein Betroffener seine Erfahrungen mit dieser Behandlungsmethode.

Based on the Simontons' experience with hundreds of patients at their world-famous Cancer Counseling and Research Center, Getting Well Again introduces the scientific basis for the "will to live." In this revolutionary book the Simontons profile the typical "cancer personality": how an individual's reactions to stress and other emotional factors can contribute to the onset and progress of cancer -- and how positive expectations, self-awareness, and self-care can contribute to survival. This book offers the same self-help techniques the Simonton's patients have used to successfully to reinforce usual medical treatment -- techniques for learning positive attitudes, relaxation, visualization, goal setting, managing pain, exercise, and building an emotional support system.
