In Whole Health and True Healing Through Process-Oriented Medicine Dr. Pierre Morin describes alternative approaches to conventional medicine that falsely rely on fixed and binary definitions of health and sickness, inviting us instead to become explorers. He encourages us to fully open our senses to every aspect of aliveness in health and sickness, which requires negotiating our personal and cultural expectations and conventions while remaining receptive to the processes of our experiences. He pushes the field of Medicine forward by linking cutting-edge developments in biology and medicine with the depth and spirit of Process Work. The book weaves through his own body of work and ties together Taoism, Process Work, and poetry.

WHEN THINKING IS A PROBLEM
About and Beyond Thinking
Edited by Charles Eigen

Chapter “Mental Health and Normality: Toward a New Process-oriented Perspective”
by Pierre Morin

When Thinking is a Problem examines the activity of thinking and how it is a primary factor in suffering at the individual as well as at the collective level, while at the same time, a necessary function that is often taken for granted and misused.
When Thinking is a Problem is unique in helping the reader to see the activity of thinking from a variety of different perspectives provided by writers representing diverse backgrounds. It contains essays, contemplations, and dialogues by eighteen teachers, all of them leaders in their fields. In these chapters, the mechanics and dynamics of thinking are discussed by well-known teachers from the Buddhist and Advaita traditions, as well as from noted neuroscientists, psychologists, philosophers, academics, and prominent writers. In its focus on thinking as it relates to suffering, whether by its presence or absence, the writers discuss the need to honor both thinking as well as the dimension or reality beyond conscious thought.
