Achieving mental wellness by understanding human mind
The presentation discusses the research into the factors associated with improbable recoveries from medical illness and
the implications for our understanding of health and illness. Relevant research in several fields and several stories of
remarkable recovery will be examined as examples that highlight the capacities of mind and faith that appear to underlie
these recoveries. This is an exciting time in health-care, where paradigms of health, wellness and associated technologies are
beginning to demonstrate efficacy in arenas where traditional disease-based models have been more limited. We will compare
and contrast current strengths and limitations of the traditional biomedical model with a more person-centered approach
that is built on strengths rather than deficits. Associated paradigmatic issues will be discussed and we will consider the power
of a medicine that is less disease-focused and built more on wellness. We will examine this in the context of with developing
technologies, which are beginning to drive this change. These technologies, we expect, will continue to democratize health,
empower consumers and create dramatically new opportunities for achieving heretofore impossible levels of personal and
professional wellness.
