    Summary: This book constitutes the end result of 20 years-long effort that goes beyond a Psychiatrists standard clinical training and education, even that of a Psychiatrist that follows an academic career. Trying to explain how the human mind works is hard and the heterogeneity of the audience make the attempt even more difficult. There is a conceptual difference between the words brain and mindand this makes the effort even more difficult since the present book tries to preserve the strict scientific approach concerning all the topics discussed. The work elaborates and tries to answer questions frequently phrased by audiences in teaching classes and in conferences and does not avoid any question. In order to achieve this goal, it is structured in chapters all the way from the molecule and the cell to consciousness and free will. The book targets mainly the mental health care professionals as an audience, and to a lesser extend the other health professionals. It is written according to the authors view concerning the training and educational needs of Psychiatrists and Psychologists and to a lesser degree of Neurologists and Neuroscientists in general.

    The effect of multimodal immunotherapy was studied in rats bearing primary gastrointestinal tumors induced by 1,2-dimethylhydrazine dihydrochloride. Multimodal immune manipulation consisted of combinations of splenectomy, C. parvum, unblocking serum, unblocked lymphoid cells, and levamisole. Such immunologic intervention resulted in significant inhibition of tumor growth, and their metastasis. Ten of 10 untreated rats, 8 of 8 rats treated with splenectomy alone and 10 of 10 rats treated with normal rabbit serum died of progressive tumor growth. None of the rats treated with combinations of splenectomy, unblocking serum, unblocked lymphoid cells, C. parvum and levamisole succumbed to progressive tumor growth during the observation period. The histologic evidence of tumor destruction was obtained in 18 of 22 tumors in rats of groups receiving multimodal immunotherapy.
