Coma: A Healing Journey

Coma: A Healing Journey, is a heartful and practical guide to non-intrusive communication with coma patients. Extending her husband, Arnold Mindell’s pioneering work with people in comatose and near death conditions, Amy Mindell provides step-by-step exercises to help family members and caregivers communicate with, and care for, patients thought to be lost in coma. The book helps to bridge the divide between the coma patient and concerned family, friends, and healthcare professionals while furthering the comatose person’s meaningful communications and inner journey. The deep relationship that comes from caring for, and communicating with, the person in coma, makes healing a part of the caregiver’s, as well as the patient’s, journey.
