The Political Economy of Mind-Body Health

This new section on "Mind-Body Health" will focus on the emerging body of research and clinical findings indicating the profound interaction between mind and body. Beyond the biological research are the economic and political consequences of these new approaches to developing a true care system. To introduce this complex area, I asked Charles R. Halpern to write the inaugural article, which is titled "The Political Economy of Mind-Body Health. " Mr. Halpern has served as the founding President and Chief Executive Officer of the Nathan Cummings Foundation since 1989. He has also had a distinguished career in public interest law and legal education. The Nathan Cummings Foundation has devoted a major portion of its resources to addressing health issues, including making health and well-being accessible to millions of Americans who are currently denied adequate care, the emerging field of mindbody medicine, and innovative approaches to cancer treatment. The next issue will include a review article on "Mind-Body Health: Research, Clinical, and Policy Applications" by me and Steven Locke. Subsequent issues will include original research, commentaries, and additional reviews. -Section Editor: Kenneth R. Pelletier
