Freud, David. The Healing Gift: Exploring The Remarkable World of a Medical Intuitive. Laguna Beach, CA: Basic Health 2010.  402 pp.  $22.95   Notes 20 pp.   Suggested reading 5 pp.

David Freud presents a very helpful, detailed description of the work of Linda Freud, his wife, who is a gifted medical intuitive. She is able to identify the parts and functions of the body that are out of order, and to suggest various remedies that can help people deal with their physical and psychological disorders.

Linda Freud uses detailed lists that have been methodically compiled to hone in on the issues that need attention. She may also pick up on various caregivers who could be of help in dealing with the identified problems. In addition, she can discern ancestral influences, past life residues, and obsessing or possessing spirits that may be involved in the presenting problems. She also calls upon various angels to help with healing.

I found the discussions of the intuitive assessments of psychological problems of modest interest. The causes identified were biological rather than psychological and the recommended remedies were nutritional and hormonal.

Despite its length, this book is well written and thoroughly engaging. It is supported with case reports (mostly composites) to illustrate how the intuitive readings have been helpful. One of the few personal reports details how a man with diagnosed cardiac insufficiency had been advised to have cardiac surgery. Linda Freud perceived that dental mercury amalgam fillings were the root of the man's problems. Removing these brought about a cure, without the recommended cardiac surgery.

Many pages are devoted to discussions between the spirits of Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, channeled by Linda Freud. These are not relevant to the principal focus of the book and would have been better published separately.
