Synopsis by Kathleen Wildasin

Bill Moyers: Healing and the Mind - Healing from Within is part three in a five-volume instructional documentary series that focuses on the relationship between illness/health and the mind. Special attention is devoted to Buddhist meditation and group psychotherapy techniques that encourage the use of positive thinking to facilitate healing. In this 86-minute episode, Moyers interviews scientists, therapists, physicians, and patients for insights into how such methods may be employed in stress management and in fighting breast cancer.
