Whole Person Healthcare
Ilene Ava Serlin, editor
published by Praeger Perspectives

These volumes show how Western and non-Western healing practices – including yoga, meditation, QiGong, art, music, and dance therapy – are being integrated with modern Western medicine and psychology, in hospitals and at nontraditional healthcare facilities. Breaking research on this growing field is featured, as are observations by healthcare professionals who say the new approaches are helping patients – and also helping professionals rediscover their ancient role as healers.

Each focused, practical chapter includes a Tool Kit for Change, summarizing major treatment points from a particular perspective. Examples of training templates, funded programs, and treatment protocols are included. Prevention and lifestyle are addressed, as are cures.

Introduced by David Spiegel, M.D., of Stanford University and Dean Ornish, M.D., of the University of California.

Conversation with Laura Perls – Laura and Fritz Perls were the co-founders of Gestalt therapy. This video was recorded in 1988 at the New York Gestalt Institute shortly before Laura's death in 1990. Gestalt therapy is often identified with Fritz Perls and his confrontational style. This conversation between Dr. Serlin and Laura Perls gives another, more balanced perspective to the history of Gestalt by showing a feminine approach that emphasizes support and the arts.

Dr. Serlin studied with Laura Perls and taught at the New York Gestalt Institute.
