| Mind Stimulation Therapy: Use of Mind's Inner Potentials in Recovery Information1 #419916 Mind and Body have innate potentials to counter many of our psychiatric and medical illnesses. Harnessing these natural defenses can not only augment benefits of any biological and psycho-social interventions but also in many cases be the preferred strategy for "optimal management" of some illnesses.
