Luminary: James Arond-Thomas
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.
