Faith & the Placebo Effect: An Argument for Self-Healing - Lolette Kuby Ph.D

Our thoughts and emotions follow our beliefs and create the attitudes, assumptions, expectations, and behaviors that determine how we react to life events and what we think is possible. These underlying belief systems drive our behavior.  Similarly, health beliefs influence health behaviors and health outcomes. Growing evidence shows us that negative and worrisome beliefs predispose your body to illness; positive and hopeful beliefs are healing and curative. Can our beliefs be self-fulfilling prophecies?

Lolette Kuby brings together inter-disciplinary analysis, the data of common sense, historical data gathered from centuries of observation on the topic of self healing. . she explores the psychological, anthropological, political and historical dimensions of a question that is fundamental not only to the practice of medicine but to understanding the workings of the human mind and human consciousness.

Lolette Kuby  taught in the English Department of the Cleveland State University. She held a Ph.D. from the Case Western Reserve University. She also taught at Humber College during her in Toronto.
