Dr. Dean Shrock: Why Love Heals

Dr. Dean Shrock explores his research concluding that people live longer when encountering a major illness when they feel listened to, cared for and supported (and the illness Dean was specifically studying was cancer).  How can we shift our perspectives on pathways to recovery by realizing why love heals? Dean served for many years as Director of Mind-Body Medicine for a physician management group of 40 cancer centers, where he taught and researched a wellness program that improved survival with cancer. He is the bestselling author of Doctor's Orders: Go Fishing, Why Love Heals: Mind-Body-Spirit Medicine, and Living and Thriving: A Mind-Body-Spirit Program for Wellness. He also co-authored the chapter on Mind-Body Medicine in Dr. Andrew Weil's textbook, Integrative Oncology, and is one of the spiritual teachers featured in the international bestselling book, The Power of the Heart.  Dean has a Doctorate in Counseling Psychology.
