training in both physiological psychology and clinical psychology,

and transpersonal Psychology, entitled, Body of Knowledge (1990).
ABSTRACT: After more than three centuries, a force is
emerging from within modern psychology which is questioning
the old assumption of a split between body and mind and developing
an alternative assumption of body/mind unity. In his talk, Dr. Marrone
will review the design features of a working body/mind bridge, under
construction, and consider some of the breakthroughs in psychoneuroimmunology,
holography, quantum physics and clinical research which are giving
form to new methodologies and healing models.
