Carl Hammerschlag, MD, is a distinguished, Yale-trained psychiatrist, healer, best-selling author, professional speaker, columnist and faculty member at the University of Arizona Medical School. He is one of the early pioneer leaders in mind-body-spirit medicine (or psychoneuroimmunology) and an expert in integrating its practical applications. His books include: "The Theft of the Spirit", "Healing Ceremonies" and "The Healing Dancing Healers." Dr. Carl Hammerschlag worked for over 20-years with Native American communities, most as Chief of Psychiatry at the Phoenix Indian Medical Center. He has authored three critically acclaimed books, in which he described his journey from doctor to healer. In 1998, the Caring Institute selected Dr. H, from more than a quarter million nominations, as "one of the 10 most caring adults in America." In these rapidly changing times; from healthcare accessibility, globalization's impact on national economies, an 'Age of Terror' with escalating fear, Dr. Hammerschlag helps people and organizations thrive. Dr. H has been called "a voice in the darkness." He is a spellbinding speaker, who combines the language of science, with the drama of a compelling storyteller. Along with Colin Powell, Ronald Reagan and Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, he holds the highest honor in professional speaking, the CPAE Speakers Hall of Fame Award. This award has been given to less than 200 individuals since 1977, and he is the only physician to be so honored. A bridge builder, pathfinder and visionary, Dr. Carl Hammerschlag guides audiences on a journey that allows them to see beyond their limitations to a place of hope and healing. He is that extraordinary combination of doctor, healer and visionary, who inspires people to reawaken their spirit, and celebrate their choices, changes and sustaining connections. One of Dr. Hammerschlag's passionate messages: Healthcare audiences do not just want to hear about information technology, federal compliance guidelines, and market share strategies. There is a desperation for reminders that this is not just another industry, but a calling. Dr. Carl Hammerschlag inspires audiences and kindles their healing spirit, reminding them why they are in this business. Titles The Way It Was, Is Not The Way It Is . . .
