Laurence Foss challenges the prevailing medical model whereby mind and body are essentially separated, and charts a new \"psychobiological\" course. Asking fresh questions, raising new possibilities, probing long-established preconceptions, Foss presents a radically reconfigured medical model. This model accounts for the full range of findings in the experimental literature, most notably those surfacing over the past quarter century in psychophysiological studies which show a correlation between psychosocial variables and disease susceptibility that are in line with what more basic sciences tell us about the behavior of material systems and the nature of scientific explanation. Foss also critically analyzes the regulative ideals of today's medical research community and puts modern science itself, from which these ideals derive, under a microscope.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laurence Foss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0791451305\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780791451304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/20\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 351\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 5.92w x 0.75d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2002 pg. 1800","brand":"Laurence Foss","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46767118352639,"sku":"9780791451304","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f1aba778-17d9-4615-b06b-716bfa9a5ae1.jpg?v=1744168902","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-end-of-modern-medicine-laurence-foss-9780791451304","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
