Are chronic medical symptoms such as "fatigue," "pain," indigestion or insomnia taking over your life? Dr. "Barsky," a psychiatrist and pioneer in the field of mind-body medicine at Harvard Medical "School," has found that changing the way you think about your illness can have a remarkable effect on how you experience your symptoms. His scientifically-tested six-week "program," based on over 20 years of clinical "experience," teaches patients to master the psychological factors that make chronic symptoms persist through "exercises," "worksheets," and patient examples.
