The literature relating to the learned control of autonomic processes, especially cardiovascular processes demonstrating that the activities of visceral response systems may be modifi ed by operant reinforcement and biofeedback procedures, has grown exponentially. This research seems to show behavioral properties in the cardiovascular system that were previously believed to be exclusive attributes of the somatic response systems; the implications of this for possible therapeutic use have received widespread publicity. Questions remained unanswered-about the nature of "voluntary" control and the conditions necessary for establishing it, the reciprocal effects of conditioned changes in cardiovascular and psychological or behavioral functioning, the use of cardiovascular events to index behavioral states, and the principles and techniques whereby operant conditioning of the cardiovascular system can be clinically applied.

Western thought has traditionally separated mind from body. This long-standing way of thinking can be seen in philosophical discourse, scientific investigation, systematic scholarship, literature, and everyday conversation. We excuse ourselves, for example, by saying, "The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak." Perhaps no human undertaking so clearly typifies this view of our divided selves as when a diseased body or a disordered mind is involved. We like to keep physical and mental illness discretely apart. As a society we are beginning to come to terms with the interaction of body and mind in producing and maintaining illness. Research support for behavioral or psychosomatic medicine appears to be growing. The NIMH-supported research described in this report goes even deeper-into the basic physiological and psychological processes that connect mind and body. For over two decades, John and Beatrice Lacey have investigated the flow of communication between the human heart and brain. Their intricate and careful procedures, combined with their daring theories, have produced work that has stirred controversy as well as promise.

Herbal and Magical Medicine draws on perspectives from folklore, anthropology, psychology, medicine, and botany to describe the traditional medical beliefs and practices among Native, Anglo- and African Americans in eastern North Carolina and Virginia. In documenting the vitality of such seemingly unusual healing traditions as talking the fire out of burns, wart-curing, blood-stopping, herbal healing, and rootwork, the contributors to this volume demonstrate how the region’s folk medical systems operate in tandem with scientific biomedicine. The authors provide illuminating commentary on the major forms of naturopathic and magico-religious medicine practiced in the United States. Other essays explain the persistence of these traditions in our modern technological society and address the bases of folk medical concepts of illness and treatment and the efficacy of particular pratices. The collection suggests a model for collaborative research on traditional medicine that can be replicated in other parts of the country. An extensive bibliography reveals the scope and variety of research in the field. Contributors. Karen Baldwin, Richard Blaustein, Linda Camino, Edward M. Croom Jr., David Hufford, James W. Kirland, Peter Lichstein, Holly F. Mathews, Robert Sammons, C. W. Sullivan III
