Dr. James Gordon

Dr. Gordon is a phychiatrist who started the Center for Mind-Body Medicine in Washington, D.C. He has been working all over the world in places where large numbers of people are experiencing Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from wars, such as in Kosovo, Israel, Gaza, New York after 9/11, and New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.

He is teaching hundreds of health care workers a very effective model of stress management in his Mind-Body Medicine Skills trainings. They in turn are going into the communities and working with the sufferers of PTSD. His research results are showing an 80% decrease in PTSD symptoms after the training. He is also training Cancer Guides who work collaboratively with people with cancer to create safe, effective, humane, individualized programs of care.
