THE SCIENCE OF HEALING WITH DR. ESTHER STERNBERG | Preview | PBS

Author and medical researcher Dr. Esther Sternberg examines the role the brain plays in healing in the new PBS special THE SCIENCE OF HEALING WITH DR. ESTHER STERNBERG. The program addresses some critical questions: What is healing? Is there a mind/body connection? What happens in the brain when healing occurs? What role does emotion play? Dr. Sternberg uses her own story of illness and recovery as a parallel to her investigation of what scientists are learning about the mind/body connection. THE SCIENCE OF HEALING premieres November 28 and airs in November and December 2009 on most PBS stations. Check local listings for dates and times in your area at pbs.org.

Dr. Sternberg's 2 books: THE BALANCE WITHIN & HEALING SPACES could be 2 of the most important books you will ever read. It is unfortunate that the entire show is not available on the PBS website.

I just saw a screening of it in New York. It's excellent!! Can we expect a follow-on series?

This looks interesting, can't wait to see the whole show! I've always been a big believer of mind over matter - especially when it comes to healing yourself! Glad to see someone's finally looking into this further.
