The idea of many physical problems being caused by emotional problems seems right to me. This book, however, really did not seem to give anything very solid as far as studies on this. The material was basically repeated over and over with expressions of dismay that standard  medicine does not acknowledge the truth of it. I found the book really detracted rather than supported the premise. I didn't get as far as the program he uses to treat the problem. If I had pain I probably would have read more and tried it, but it didn't seem worth my while at this point to read further.
