The Psychobiology of Mind-body Healing: New Concepts of Therapeutic Hypnosis
Ernest Lawrence Rossi
Excellent explanation of how the mind affects the body through the neuroendocrine system. Also has a dozen or so useful short tutorials to illustrate this in practice, which work well with real clients. Not an easy read, but worth the effort if you want to get an idea of the science of it.
