We will examine the research and clinical underpinnings of a science of health and vitality, focusing on people with medical evidence for unexpected recovery from medical illnesses that are traditionally considered incurable. The role of psychology as it relates to a science of health and vitality will be discussed, as well as issues related to the democratization of medicine and psychology. At the end, we will explore the strengths and limitations of a biopsychosocial methodology using biomedical markers.
Objectives
Name 2 different factors that distinguish a science of disease from a science of health and vitality.
Describe 2 research studies that have been done on the spontaneous remission of illness, and 2 research challenges associated with such investigations.
