In this lecture, Thomas Moore -- internationally known theologian and author of New York Times best-seller "Care of The Soul", "Soul Mates" and "A Life At Work," among other titles -- talks about his views on extending the scope of medicine beyond the scientific to include spirituality and deep matters of soul. While a purely scientific approach to medicine can work well in and of itself, Moore also considers the importance of emotions, fantasies, dreams, the physical healing environment, and the relationship of caregiver and patient to enhance a person's healing and overall wellness.

      In this lecture to a live audience, the author bangs the microphone and takes inaudible questions from the skeptical listeners. No statement he makes has any relationship to any previous or following one. He claims to be an experienced psychotherapist who depends 90% on interpreting patients' dreams. Stating that he knows "nothing about medicine," he presumptuously makes stabs at how it can be improved, using undefined terms such as "modernism" and "soul." Unprepared "uhs" punctuate his rambling discourse. As far as science goes, he boasts that he needs no evidence to corroborate his successes in therapy or his advice on how to make medicine "more human." Potential listeners should abandon any hope they will learn something useful. J.A.H. (c) AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
