Integrative Mental Health Care: A Therapist's Handbook (Norton Professional Books (Paperback))

Making sense of complementary and alternative treatments in mental health care.

In this practical resource, Dr. Lake, a pioneer in the field of integrative mental healthcare, teaches readers how to integrate conventional mental healthcare―drugs and psychotherapy―with complementary and alternative approaches, including vitamins, minerals, amino acids, essential fatty acids and other natural products, mind-body practices, light therapy, music, biofeedback, energy therapies, acupuncture, and others. This is a concise, evidence-based guide to the day-to-day management of common mental health problems using an integrative approach.
