Hope and Mental Health
Helga Meyer introduces readers to an emerging field of psychoneuroimmunlogy in The Pueblo Chieftain and the power of the positive placebo called “hope.” According to Ms. Meyer, it is important to fulfill our three basic needs to have something to do, someone to love and something to hope for.
I went to the society’s website at http://www.pnirs.org but I still don’t understand what this discipline is about. I’ve dispatched an email to a neuroscience friend and hopefully we’ll soon find out what research studies are being conducted in this field, and perhaps more information on Hope as a positive placebo (maybe more).
