Dr, Bernard S. Siegel attended Colgate University and Cornell University Medical College. He holds membership in two scholastic honour societies, Phi Beta Kappa and Alpha Omega Alpha, and graduated with honours. His surgical training took place at Yale New Haven Hospital and the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. He is a pediatric and a general surgeon in New Haven. In 1978 Dr. Siegel started Exceptional Cancer Patients, a specific form of individual and group therapy utilizing patients' dreams, drawings and images. ECaP is based on 'carefrontation', a loving, safe, therapeutic confrontation, which facilitates personal change and healing. This experience led to his desire to make everyone aware of their own healing potential.
Siegel, bestselling author of Love, Medicine and Miracles, is one of the most renowned conventional exponents of mind-body medicine. He remains a practising surgeon while espousing strong emotional links to disease. He offers an intuitive approach to illness, accessing unconscious meanings and metaphors through dreams and meditation, and a psycho-spiritual approach to self-healing which bears evidence for the physical effects of joy and optimism. Siegel sees illness as a catalyst of personal transformation, and in many of his stories patients speak of their illness as a gift. Moving and optimistic, this offers genuine hope for anyone facing a crisis in life. (Kirkus UK)
