Abstract
In the early years, Ernest Lawrence Rossi devoted himself to writing a series of books about hypnosis, including casebooks, manuals, and collections of papers. He next began developing a therapeutic approach that was responsive to mind-body interactions in the healing process. Along these lines, he published The Psychobiology of Mind-Body Healing; Mind-Body Therapy; The February Man; Ultradian Rhythms in Life Processes; The Symptom Path to Enlightenment; Dreams, Consciousness, Spirit; and most recently The Psychobiology of Gene Expression. It is in his latest work that Rossi presents the theory and research related to optimizing creativity and brain growth through an integrative approach that combines hypnosis, alternative medicine, and psychoimmunology. This presentation of his ideas represents the culmination of his life’s work devoted to treating the mind-body connection in people’s experiences. Rossi is based in LosOsos, California, where hemaintains a private practice.
