Mind–body interventions is the name of a U.S. National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) classification that covers a variety of techniques designed to enhance the mind's capacity to affect bodily function and symptoms.
Many of these techniques are best described as alternative medicine, including meditation, prayer, mental healing, movement re-education, and therapies that use creative outlets such as art, music, or dance.
Others have now become mainstream (for example, patient support groups and cognitive-behavioral therapy).
