Healing the Hidden Self or Balanced Healing

Healing the Hidden Self

Author: Barbara Shlemon Ryan

Focusing on healing for the seven major stages of human development-Prenatal, Birth, Infancy, Childhood, Adolescence, Early Adulthood, and Seasoned Citizens-Barbara Shlemon Ryan describes how long-lasting hurt can occur in one or more stages of life, and how this hurt can manifest itself in another stage.

With a new preface, a new epilogue, and chapters focusing on each stage of development, Ryan offers examples of the types of problems encountered in each stage. A prayer at the end of each chapter helps initiate the healing process. Healing the Hidden Self emphasizes the importance of inner healing for all who seek a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ and with others. Its practical, how-to approach makes it an invaluable resource.

After more than 100,000 copies sold, this revised edition updates the 1982 original using new examples, references, and insights gained through Barbara Shlemon Ryan's Beloved Ministry.

Balanced Healing: Combining Modern Medicine with Safe & Effective Alternative

Author: Larry H Altshuler

Balanced Healing arms readers with ailment-specific information that will help them make intelligent choices for a bias-free, balanced approach to health and healing.

Library Journal

Altshuler, a board-certified physician, incorporated alternative medicine treatments into his practice 25 years ago and received advanced training in several alternative therapies. His book is an attempt to present a balanced overview of the best of conventional and alternative healing therapies. After weighing the pros and cons of modern medicine vs. integrative medicine, the author shows how the two medical styles can be combined to treat 100 common ailments. The entries in this A-to-Z section include common symptoms, recommendations, and treatment plans. Altshuler cautions readers to remember that patients are different and that one therapy combination may not work for all. He also advises readers to work closely with a medical professional when using combined therapies. Two appendixes provide a list of alternative methods and procedures and alternative medicine products. Altshuler's experience with both types of therapies and his balanced approach make this book a valuable addition to any consumer health library or consumer health collection.-Marge Kars, Bronson Methodist Hosp.
