Ainslie Meares: The Doctor Who Forever Changed the Way We Look at Cancer (Print Version)
Desmond Zwar
ISBN: 978-1-890995-60-7 (158 pp.)
Ainslie Meares, M.D., (1910-1986) was an extraordinary man and the father of a movement in medicine toward empowering his patients and making them responsible for their own well-being. A renowned psychiatrist and the author of many books on the more philosophical aspects of self-improvement, he left his thriving practice and gave up his medical license in order to pursue his work with cancer patients, using meditation as therapy.
Dr. Meares was bold and resolute in his work, willing to experiment but with a unique empathy and gentleness with his patients. He taught them that they could influence the course of their own illness – that healing came from within them.
“When you are with him, he is totally with you. Nothing else intrudes. He senses just how you are and his openness allows you to sense him too.”
– From Zwar’s Introduction
In this book, Desmond Zwar gives us insight into the life and achievements of Dr. Ainslie Meares, through probing discussion and fascinating case histories. Learn about the medical doctor who made history using meditation to successfully treat cancer.
