Shows the benefits of TM for psychiatric patients with schizophrenia, neurosis, personality disorders, and alcohol and drug problems: decreased anxiety and tension; decreased overactive or impulsive behavior; improved sleep patterns (decreased awakenings per night, improved quality of sleep, etc.). Very good bibliography.
Gaines, Maris. "Claims of Spontaneous Healing." Skepticism
Takes a strong stand against what it calls "anecdotal" and "pseudoscientific" claims of spontaneous healing, particularly in cancer cases. Good source of opposition arguments against my thesis.
A Healing Place. 29 February 2000 <http://www.ahealingplace.org/>.
A "pop-psych" Web site which has a little bit of helpful information, along with discussion boards with some useful personal-experience accounts. Interesting, but I'm not sure if I'll end up using anything from this source.
McGill, Charles M. The Realm of Consciousness: a Theory
A book about the problem of consciousness, advocating a view in which the phenomenon is natural but permanently mysterious to us. May be useful in providing background for my argument.
Raymond, Jonathan. "Mind Over Matter: the Healing Mind."
An article which strongly advocates the the theory of the mind as a healer. Good source of statistics and arguments against my opposition.
