Karl Lehman, M.D., a board-certified psychiatrist who has studied the mind and the brain for over forty years, has observed that both mental health professionals and faith-based healing ministers often fall prey to “false dichotomy thinking”—believing that mental health problems should be explained and treated by either biological brain theories and interventions or by non-physical mind/spirit theories and interventions.
In Mind and Brain , Dr. Lehman provides compelling evidence for the existence of a non-physical mind/spirit that is separate from the physical, biological brain, and then describes how these two phenomena are so profoundly and intimately connected that they that they affect each other in powerful and fascinating ways.
The mind-and-brain paradigm presented here provides a theoretical foundation that will supply concrete, practical guidance for both mental health professionals and emotional healing ministers as they care for those with spiritual issues, psychological trauma, and mental illnesses.
