Publisher's Synopsis
Health is the most precious element in human life and through the holistic approach, which takes into account the complexity of human existence with its physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects, can be better maintained and reestablished. A phenomenon such as the placebo effect, however, that though containing no active ingredients whatsoever still allows some people to heal, has generated in the researcher the curiosity and desire to better understand the dynamics of healing. This study, through its phenomenological descriptive approach, tries to identify what it is that makes healing possible by analyzing the dynamics of disease and healing and the role and extent that the human belief system and perception play in them.
