The author—a theoretical physicist, depth psychologist, psychotherapist and medical hypnotherapist—has compiled and critically evaluated the scientific literature on psychogenic healing in mind-body medicine (MBM), expanding it with new data and insights based on decades of experience. The spectrum covered ranges from simple relaxation to psychoneuroimmunology and to self-healing through imagination. Since psychoneuroimmunology—an evidence-based foundation for psychogenic responses of the human organism, such as relaxation, the placebo\/nocebo effect, or medical hypnosis—rarely makes explicit reference to imagination, the author introduces the concept of\u003cem\u003e consciousness medicine\u003c\/em\u003e as an umbrella term for mind-body medicine.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eHe explains the psychoneuroimmunological connections of imagination and develops a simple, generic six-dramatic-elements method for the practical application of medical hypnosis using metaphors for self-healing. His concept is illustrated through concrete examples from clinical practice. The guiding principle of his findings can be summarized as follows: “All healing is ultimately self-healing, and imagination can optimize this process.”\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eGary Bruno Schmid, PhD, “Psychomathemedicus” and recipient of the \u003cem\u003eAlbert Nelson Marquis Lifetime Achievement Award \u003c\/em\u003eby \u003cem\u003eMarquis Who's Who \u003c\/em\u003e(27.08.2019) is also featured in\u003cem\u003e WhoISHWho in Hypnosis\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eHe lives with his family in Zurich, Switzerland, where he runs a psychotherapeutic practice specializing in medical hypnosis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 September 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Berlin Heidelberg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9783662740200\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Berlin Heidelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51043024306316,"sku":"9783662740200","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783662740200.jpg?v=1782525376","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783662740200","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
