Discovering the Soul

The author graduated first in his medical school class in psychiatry but could not find a psychiatry residency that acknowledged the existence or importance of patients spiritual experiences. After completing an emergency medicine residency program at Johns Hopkins and working fifteen years in the field he decided to go back to his first interest. He longed to explore what drives human behavior and what part might be played by psychic phenomena. What he discovered was amazing. After additional training in psychiatry and clinical hypnosis he built a psychotherapy practice open to the spiritual component which modern psychiatry eschews. Many emotional problems which had eluded standard psychotherapeutic approaches were quickly resolved. This book is a compilation of some of Dr. Jarmons more illustrative case studies and is a testament to how science can progress when we are willing to stretch beyond our comfort zones and put our reputations and beliefs in harms way.
