Doctors, patients, clergy members and skeptics all share their insights in this look at the role of faith in healing.



The devastating effects of illness or accident are likely to be felt by everyone at some point in their lives. The impact of these health crises can be overwhelming, and while modern medicine is extremely successful in handling the physical side of healing, many people believe that prayer can have an impact as well.

INVESTIGATIVE REPORTSTM looks at the role that religious beliefs and practices can play in the healing process. We'll meet scientists who are conducting experiments on the subject, and doctors who go so far as to pray with their patients. Other physicians, however, see this as bordering on malpractice, while medical schools and educators are deeply conflicted on the issue.

Filled with thought-provoking interviews and illuminating case studies, HEALING AND PRAYER is a fascinating look at a subject that is rapidly gaining credence--and inspiring controversy--among caregivers and the public alike.
