Back in Control with David Hanscom, MD

The Clues to Healing Within Patient Drawings


Listen Later

In this episode, Dr. David Hanscom continues his discussion with world renowned surgeon and best-selling author, Bernie Sigel, MD.  He discusses how patient drawings offer key insights into how the patient feels about their illness and treatment, as well as key events that have shaped their lives. He shares stories that illustrate these insights and how he used them to help patients tap into their innate healing power. He suggests that physicians should use patient drawings as a way to build trust and understanding with the patient.
Bernie S. Siegel, MD, is a well-known proponent of integrative and holistic approaches to healing that heal not just the body but also the mind and soul.  He attended Colgate University and studied medicine at Cornell University Medical College. His surgical training took place at Yale–New Haven Hospital, West Haven Veterans Hospital, and the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. In 1978 Bernie pioneered a new approach to group and individual cancer therapy called Exceptional Cancer Patients (ECaP), which utilized patients’ drawings, dreams, and feelings, and he broke new ground in facilitating important patient lifestyle changes and engaging the patient in the healing process. He is the best-selling author of Love, Medicine & Miracles and The Art of Healing.  For more information, visit: berniesiegelmd.com.
