MARK ME AS BRAINLEST NOBODY DOES THIS BRO

Explanation:

Although the mind-body dualism has dominated Western medicine for centuries, contemporary cancer research is making room for more holistic approaches to understanding carcinogenesis. Dr Marco Balenci, psychoanalyst and member of the American Psychological Association, looks at cancer as a systemic rather than local disease. His recent article places the work of Elida Evans in the history of American medical-psychological thought and, at the same time, presents an updated picture of cancer research from a holistic standpoint.

Increasing understanding of the mind-body connection is starting to shift traditional approaches to health and disease – that is, the mind-body dualism which dominated Western medicine for several centuries. In particular, cancer, conventionally considered the most organic disease, is being looked at through the lens of holistic medicine, dedicated to the whole patient – body and mind. It is a poorly known fact that Carl Gustav Jung’s theory has influenced psycho-oncology, a field which examines the role of a cancer patient’s emotions and experiences in the physiological mechanisms associated with cancer.
