Cartesian dualism
“This is Descartes’ error: the abyssal separation between body and mind, between the sizable, dimensioned, mechanically operated, infinitely divisible body stuff, on the one hand, and the unsizable, undimensioned, un-pushpullable, nondivisible mind stuff; the suggestion that reasoning, and moral judgment, and the suffering es from physical pain or emotional upheaval might exist separately from the body.” Antonio Damasio

“I view health and well-being as a three-legged stool: one leg is pharmaceuticals, a second leg is surgery and procedures. We have at our disposal awesome medications and surgeries. Many of us would not be alive today without them. Yet we need a third leg: self-care. This includes the relaxation response, spirituality, nutrition, exercise, and stress management. Unfortunately, we’re trying to use the first two legs—the surgery or the pharmaceutical—to deal with stress-related issues where they don’t work. It has to be a balance of all three legs.”
“Perhaps the most fundamental development in behavioral medicine is the recognition that we can no longer think about health as being solely a characteristic of the body or the mind because body and mind are interconnected.”
