Today we hear a great deal about holistic medicinean approach to healing that integrates body, mind, and spirit. For Rudolf Steiner, healing is not possible unless it takes into account all the dimensions that make up a human being-both visible and invisible. Unless we begin to understand these dimensions of ourselves, real health will always be hard to attain. To meet inner frailty with truly adequate concepts, Steiner describes specific inner structures of both healthy and unhealthy states that escape ordinary perception. Addressing topics ranging from sleepwalking to hyperliteracy to the visions of St. Teresa of Avila, he suggests how to approach the misalignments of nonstandard inner structures and other psychic difficulties with what he calls pastoral medicinea truly holistic healing that can bring body and soul together and help them function in the most effective and powerful way. Dr. Michael Lipsons foreword provides background for Steiners lectures and brings them into the context of modern psychology.
