The wonderful world of Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) is important for all health professionals. PNI is the science of mind body health and identifies pathways and mechanisms by which psychological and physical health are intimately linked. It elucidates the impact of distress on both mind and body. PNI demonstrates how thoughts, emotions and health are connected and influence each other and is a scientific framework that supports a multidisciplinary approach to healthcare. PNI research supports the use of evidence-based, holistic interventions such as DDB for health professionals to treat chronic conditions and improve health and wellbeing.
