A New Paradigm for Integrative Mental Healthcare is relevant and timely for the increasing numbers of patients seeking integrative and alternative care for depressed mood, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and other mental health problems such as fatigue and chronic pain.
?Patients are crying out for a more integrative approach, and this exemplary book provides the template for achieving such a vision.?
-Jerome Sarris, MHSc, PhD, ND
?For most conventionally trained clinicians the challenge is not ?does CAM work?? but ?how do I integrate CAM into my clinical practice?? Lake?s comprehensive approach answers this central question, enabling the clinician to plan truly integrative and effective care for the mind and body.?
-Leslie Korn, PhD, MPH
