The Dynamics Of Disease and Healing
The Role That Perception and Beliefs Play In Our Health and Wellness
ISBN-13-978-1511790666
ISBN-10-1511790660
​
Health is the most precious element in human life and through the holistic approach, which takes into account the complexity of human existence with its physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects, can be better maintained and reestablished. A phenomenon such as the placebo effect, however, that though containing no active ingredients whatsoever still allows some people to heal, has generated in the researcher the curiosity and desire to better understand the dynamics of healing. This study, through its phenomenological descriptive approach, tries to identify what it is that makes healing possible by analyzing the dynamics of disease and healing and the role and extent that the human belief system and perception play in them. The findings are related to the seven case studies examined, whose data collection included field notes and consequent transcripts taken through semi-structured open-ended interviews and observation articulated in three sessions.
PTSD: Conquering The Invisible
A Holistic Approach To Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
ISBN-13-978-1519395665
ISBN-10-1519395663
​
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a serious mental health condition that each year disrupts several thousands lives. What can be done to help its victims to better cope with, manage or even overcome it? Regardless of what conventional medicine has accomplished and understood so far by means of clinical studies, this essay, through its holistic approach takes into account several methodologies - including herbalism, homeopathy, hypnosis, relaxation and meditation techniques along with many others - that can be used either as stand-alone or as complementary therapies to help the victims to find different ways to approach the disorder, have a better and healthier lifestyle and, hopefully, work towards a full recovery and, whenever possible, even prevention.

Appoccio Olistico al PTSD (Disordine da Stress Post-traumatico)
ISBN-13-978-1519793072
ISBN-10-1519793073
​
Il disordine da stress post-traumatico (dall’inglese Post-traumatic Stress Disorder) (PTSD) è una grave condizione mentale che sconvolge ogni anno migliaia di vite. Cosa si può fare per aiutare le sue vittime a conviverci meglio, a gestirlo o persino a superarlo? A prescindere da quanto la medicina tradizionale (occidentale) sia riuscita a fare o quanto abbia compreso fino ad ora attraverso gli studi clinici, questo opuscolo, per mezzo del suo approccio olistico, prende in considerazione varie metodologie – tra cui erbalismo, omeopatia, ipnosi, tecniche di rilassamento e meditazione insieme a molte altre – che possono essere usate come terapie sia a se stanti sia complementari per aiutare le vittime a trovare modi diversi di affrontare questo disordine, avere uno stile di vita migliore e più sano nella speranza di avanzare verso una completa guarigione e, quando possibile, persino prevenzione.

This has been conceived as a shorter version of my book The Dynamics of Disease and Healing - The Role That Perception and Beliefs Play In Our Health and Wellness and does not contain the semi-structured open-ended interviews and observation articulated in three sessions but only a summary of them.
