- Title
The bodymind matters.
- Authors
Lewis, Simon
- Abstract
An experienced liaison psychiatrist in paediatrics frequently encounters children with life-changing 'functional disorders' such as chronic fatigue or persistent pain. Realising that many doctors and their patients find such non-specific but disabling conditions confusingly hard to understand, the author believes medical education needs a model that provides a better understanding of the 'bodymind': how it functions and dysfunctions. Having taught about the bodymind and mindful approaches for more than 25 years, and seen medical students, doctors and nurses benefit from these ideas, he proposes a strategy for introducing them across the medical curriculum.
