The Mindbody Prescription

John E. Sarno presents a view of chronic pain that links many persistent symptoms to emotional stress rather than solely to physical injury. He discusses conditions such as back pain, neck pain, migraine, repetitive stress injuries, whiplash, and tendonitis in the context of his clinical approach.

The book outlines Sarno’s ideas about the relationship between mind and body and describes the program he developed from his medical practice. It is written for readers interested in an alternative explanation for ongoing pain and a treatment approach that does not rely on drugs, physical measures, or surgery.
