To the Editor:

In our review of the book Christian Science on Trial (Dec. 25 issue),1 we inadvertently misrepresented the views of physicians Larry Dossey and Andrew Weil. We made the following statement: “If the materialism of modern medicine tends to neglect the soul in order to cure the body, the spiritualized alternative medicine proposed by modern physicians such as Andrew Weil and Larry Dossey may, like the Scientists, neglect the body to cure the soul.” We withdraw our comment and regret any inconvenience it may have caused Drs. Dossey and Weil.
