Reviews

"This text offers an evidence-based approach to incorporating integrative psychiatry into practice that is pragmatic and useful, a great addition to the field of integrative medicine." -- Roberta Lee, MD, Medical Director, Continuum Center for Health and Healing "Dr. Lake must be congratulated for this ground-breaking work on CAM in psychiatry. It not only provides a conceptual framework for a deeper understanding of "disease" of the mind-body-spirit, but also gives evidence-based blueprints for where we are and where we could go. A must read for mental health professionals interested in the philosophy and practice of integrative psychiatry." -- Richard P. Brown, MD, Associate Professor, Department of Clinical Psychiatry, Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons Very well organized..easy to access. The references are current and the index is excellent...a broad introduction. The author also provides a refreshingly personalized perspective on healthcare...an abundance of useful information.--Doody's Book Reviews
