Clyde W. Ford befasst sich mit der tiefgreifenden Verbindung von Geist und Körper und untersucht die heilende Kraft von Berührungs- und Bewegungstherapien sowie die dringende Notwendigkeit der rassischen Aussöhnung.

Ford schlägt Brücken zwischen körperlichem und psychischem Wohlbefinden und zeigt auf, wie Mythen und kollektives Bewusstsein sowohl individuelle als auch gesellschaftliche Wunden heilen können. Seine Schriften fordern die Leser auf, sich aktiv zu engagieren und gemeinsame Lösungen für komplexe gesellschaftliche Probleme zu suchen.
