Comments from Dr. Kinser
This book follows Benson's great contributions to mind-body healing via his books The Relaxation Response and Beyond the Relaxation Response, How to Harness the Healing Power of Your Personal Beliefs, which are two books I also strongly recommend.  I first read the Relaxation Response in the 1970s, and his process of what I call the "One Meditation" literally saved my life when I had a heart attack while snow skiing in 1989.

Comments from Ingram 
" Written by three internationally respected women healers, authors, and holistic health pioneers, Rituals of Healing is the first book to integrate a traditional approach to medicine with complementary mind-body techniques for healing and maintaining wellness." 
Comments from Dr. Kinser
I seriously doubt if this is the "first book to integrate a traditional approach...."  Such integration of mind-body healing with traditional medicine has been going on for many years and is practiced by many doctors, nurse practitioners, nurses and mental health practitioners.  Perhaps that statement was more correct in 1994 when the book was first published.  Nevertheless, the use of images to assist a person's healing is one of the most powerful tools that can be used by both patient and professional.  My library is filled with such books, and more will be listed here soon.  My doctoral degree looked at clinical hypnotherapy as a pastoral counseling tool.  Hypnosis is simply the use focused attention and guided imagery to bring about suggestive therapy and healing.  In the hands of a trained professional, hypnotherapy and guided imagery is a valuable adjunct to all healing modalities.  The training of a patient in self-hypnosis is also quite valuable.  As with all healing techniques, the disclaimer that one is not giving medical advice applies here.  See your physician, nurse practitioner, or other health care professional, before using any such processes in your own self care.

Comments from AMAZON.COM Book Description

"As clear and pragmatic a manual as one will find on the subject." - Library Journal

Comments from back cover of the book:
"Earl Grollman's writings occupy a special place on my shelves, as they should on the shelves of any clergyman or counselor.  No one does a better job of helping us help the stricken adult or child to cope with grief."  Harold S. Kushner, autor of When Bad Things Happen to Good People

Comments from Dr. Kinser:
This collection of poems and words of wisdom come from the heart of one who has experienced grief, and I strongly recommend it to anyone suffering from personal grief or who is helping others deal with grief.

Comments from Beacon Press:
Rabbi Earl A. Grollman is an internationally know lecturer, writer, and grief counselor whose work has helped hundreds of thousands of people.  His other books include Straight Talk about Death for Teenagers and the award-winning Talking about Death: A Dialogue Between Parent and Child.

Comments from Dr. Kinser:
This journal is filled with Grollman's wisdom, quotes from individuals suffering grief, and space for one suffering grief to record their own thoughts and reflections.  Journaling is one of the most powerful tools for self healing, and this book will be a great help to those dealing with grief.  It is expensive, but is cheaper than a psychotherapy session -- and journaling can be like many many such sessions.  Sorry, Amazon.com is offering no discount on this one.
