Eva M. Selhub, MD, a passionate, articulate advocate of Mind/Body Medicine, enjoys a flourishing career as a speaker, teacher and media spokesperson as well as clinical success treating patients who have triumphed over serious medical conditions and destructive emotional patterns.

A staff member of Harvard Medical School, Dr. Selhub served from 1999 until the end of 2007 as Medical Director of Mind/Body Medical Institute founded by the pioneer of mind/body research, Herbert Benson, MD. And now part of the world renowned Massachusetts General Hospital - newly named The Benson-Henry Institute for Mind/Body Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital (BHI).

In this interview, Eva talks about her path to understanding the important connections between mind and body through the emotions resulting in her book, The Love Response. She has sought out the differences between a body that can fight a pathogen and one that cannot, between one prone to illness and one prone to health. She found that the key factor in stopping and reversing disease, maintaining health, and improving rather than deteriorating with age is the giving and receiving of love and affection.
