Norman Cousins' new book continues the story of the "obsession" he first reported in Anatomy of an Illness (New York: W.W. Norton, 1979): to demonstrate that emotion and mood affect biology directly. Cousins has set out to influence physicians, encouraging them to "put to work all the resources of spirit that can be translated into beneficial biochemical changes." The book interweaves many themes: Cousins' new career as adjunct professor at the UCLA School of Medicine, after 31 years spent as editor of the Saturday Review; his commitment to honoring individual experience while subjecting it to scientific scrutiny; his study of patients with melanoma; an account of the hypnotist, Franz Anton Mesmer; a study of the placebo effect; and Cousins' survey of images of the physician in literature. Perhaps the most suggestive aspect of the book is the scientific grounding it provides for the traditional values of the physician.
