Integrative Mental Health Care: A Therapist's Handbook

More about the book

Clinicians in mental health care are increasingly adopting unconventional diagnostic and therapeutic methods to enhance patient outcomes. By integrating traditional therapeutic approaches, such as pharmacologic treatments and cognitive-behavioral therapy, with complementary and alternative medical (CAM) techniques—like mindfulness, yoga, and acupuncture—this approach demonstrates greater effectiveness than traditional methods alone. This blend of practices aims to provide a more holistic and comprehensive treatment for patients.
