Description
Answering that call is the groundbreaking Complementary and Alternative Treatments in Mental Health Care, a concise, practical reference that reviews the history of and rationale for many CAM approaches used in North America and Europe to treat-self- treat- mental health problems, including the risks and benefits of their integration into mainstream mental health care. Two dozen experts present current information on safe, effective mental health treatments – including herbal, stress management, homeopathy, Ayurveda, and traditional Chinese medicine- that have not been fully examined or endorsed by the institutions of conventional biomedicine. Chapters on specific Cam treatments conclude with brief case vignettes illustrating their appropriate uses.
