Synopsis Dr. Larry Dossey heralds what he sees as a new and powerful era in medicine whose promise, if acknowledged, is great. Reviewing the evolution of medicine since the 19th century, Dossey sees three important eras: Era I addressed physical symptoms; Era II addressed psychosomatic issues, i.e. mind-body medicine; and now Era III addresses the spiritual dimension or the soul, for which Dossey coins the term the non-local mind. This reality recognizes creativity, dreams, intuition, prayer, and spiritual healing. Dossey's 1993 best seller HEALING WORDS convinced many people of the healing power of prayer. He has argued for the merging of ancient and contemporary approaches to healing, while remaining firmly grounded in science and medicine. Dossey argues that this new model will change the way we think about people, and about medicine, and the ideas in REINVENTING MEDICINE reflect a logical progression of his work.
