Postmodern and cross-cultural perspectives on mind and body.

New conceptualizations of the so-called "mind/body problem" have resulted from research findings in psychoneuroimmunology, from theoretical speculations of the postmodernists, and from an examination of other cultural perspectives on "mind" and "body". The interaction between the two may lead to a wholistic perspective not unlike the one proposed by humanistic psychologists and appearing in their journals, their conferences, and their clinical practice.
