Her clinical training in behavioral medicine was done at Harvard Medical School with Dr. Herbert Benson, who is well known for his relaxation response methods. Her doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology is from The Union Institute in Cincinnati, where her research in the Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music in the Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis, resulted in observations of significant changes in physical measures and the subjective experience of pain and psychological stress.
Elizabeth is co-author with Gerald Eisenberg, M.D., of The Efficacy of Guided Imagery and Music in the Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis, a study completed in the Department of Pastoral Care and Division of Rheumatology, Department of Medicine at Luthern General Hospital. By continuing to research all aspects of music as therapy and other music modalities, as well as by forming coalitions with other health professionals, Elizabeth and her colleagues are helping to bridge the gap between traditional and contemporary medical approaches.
