MIT Traditional Medicine Society presents: Healing and the Mind
The Mystery of Chi
On location in Beijing and Shanghai, Bill Moyers, with the help of his guide, David Eisenberg, M.D., of Harvard Medical School, explores traditional Chinese medicine and its approach to healing through "Chi," the energy force that is at the root of all Chinese medicine.
The Art of Healing
Clinical evidence is beginning to show that patients benefit measurably when their psychological needs are attended to along with their purely physical needs: compassion and caring not only help patients feel better but help them get better. This program looks at medical professionals who are employing a model of medical care based on the idea that emotional states play an important role in people's vulnerability to disease – and in their recovery.
