  Listed below are a few of the older, more established body/mind programs. Some of them are specially designed for cancer or heart disease. The remainder are general programs for stress-related disorders and chronic illness.

  Dr. Ornish's studies have proven that coronary artery disease is actually reversible on a program including a no-fat-added vegetarian diet, meditation, moderate exercise, stress reduction, and social support.

conversations.value: A master's in social work (MSW) is frequently an excellent degree. It is often, though not always, insurance-reimbursable. The MSW is a two-year commitment rather than four for a Ph.D. or Psy.D., and there are often more interesting older students in such programs.
  Traditional Ph.D. and Psy.D. (Doctor of Psychology) programs differ in that the latter place less emphasis on research methodology and more on practical training in therapy. Both lead to insurance reimbursability and may be APA (American Psychological Association) approved. The APA, like the American Medical Association, tries to keep a tight line on professional training. In recent years, a National Register of Psychologists has appeared in which only graduates from APA-approved programs can be listed. As health-care cost containment progresses, this practice is likely to have ramifications in terms of getting insurance reimbursement.
  Health psychology doctorate programs. A trip to your local library will provide you with a listing of such programs. Some are oriented toward physiological research, others to clinical practice. Finding the right program is a research project in itself. Albert Einstein Medical College in New York, the University of Rochester Medical School in New York, and the University of Southern Florida all have interesting programs.
  Pastoral counseling and hospital chaplaincy programs. You can research these by calling local colleges and divinity schools.
  Nursing schools. Both at the undergraduate and graduate levels nursing training has always been concerned with the whole person. More opportunities are opening for clinical nurse specialists in areas such as cardiac rehabilitation, pain management, stress reduction, non-pharmacologic control of hypertension, and other areas of mind/body medicine.
