James A. Arond-Thomas, M.D received a Masters of Science degree
in Autonomic Psycho-Pharmacology and an M.D. from Ohio State University
in 1970, and completed an internship in Psychosomatic Medicine
and Psychiatry at Bellevue Hospital and the New York University
Medical Center in 1971. From 1971 - 1974, he served as a Research
Associate at the National Institutes of Mental Health, studying
the molecular biology of the autonomic nervous system in clinical
illnesses. Moving to Detroit in 1974, he completed a medical residency
at Harper Hospital in 1976, and taught autonomic-pharmacology
at Wayne State University School of Medicine for the next 8 years.
In 1982, he founded the Center for Contemporary Medicine. He
remains today the Director of the Center for Contemporary Medicine,
an integrative and complementary, behavioral oncology practice.
During a 17-year period of clinical practice and research in both
Detroit and Ann Arbor, he has developed a multi-dimensional, 5-bodied
model of illness. This novel paradigm reflects a multi-dimensional
continuum from pathology on one end, to high-level wellness on
the other. It is this multi-dimensional paradigm which he has
applied since 1990 in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention
of cancer, especially breast cancer. Since 1996, working with
his new wife and partner, Manya Arond-Thomas, M.D., an organizational
consultant and healer-physician, the Arond-Thomas team has continued
to refine, expand, and apply the five-bodied paradigm of whole-person
health and wellness with individuals and within organizations.
