Dacher, Elliott

Elliott S. Dacher, M.D. practiced full-time internal medicine from 1975 to 1996. In 1996 he left his medical practice to begin an in-depth study of the principles and practices of consciousness and health – an ongoing study of mind/body medicine which he pursued amongst the wisdom traditions of Asia. He is a past fellow at the Institute of Noetic Sciences and a past advisory board member of the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine. A frequent presenter and seminar leader, Dr. Dacher's previous books include: Integral Health: The Path to Human Flourishing (Basic Books, 2006,) Whole Healing (Dutton/Plume, 1996,) and Intentional Healing (Marlowe, 1996). Dr. Dacher currently studies, practices and teaches the principles and practices of health and healing with a special focus on inner development and human flourishing. His work emphasizes the traditional goals of medicine: the end of distress and suffering and the promotion of each individual’s fullest potential, the innate capacity for human flourishing.
