Rituals and Ceremonies of Healing
Carl Hammerschlag, MD
   
In healthcare, we too often depend on procedures and pills and spend less time with patients. We treat body parts and diseases, but we hardly connect at a personal level. In behavioral medicine, to help people make healthful changes, we must connect with them at the level of the heart...seeing their strengths in addition to their problems; helping them to view their former landscape with new eyes, and inspiring their beliefs toward action and well-being. In this Master Class, using ritual and ceremony, we will explore the many ways to connect with patients at the heart level to maximize our healing power.
