Contemporary psychiatry is a field that is especially conducive to the principles        of integrative medicine. With the exception of a few disorders, such as        schizophrenia, most psychiatric disorders respond to interventions other than drugs.          Patients who have not tolerated or not responded optimally to traditional treatments        are also good candidates for integrative treatments. Additionally, herbals such as        St. John's wort for the treatment of depression and ginkgo for the treatment of        memory impairment in dementia have been found effective in traditional clinical        trials. Patients' use of alternative and complementary therapies in psychiatry has        created a need for physicians to become informed about these treatments, to advise        patients on their efficacy, and to be able to make judgments on integrating these        therapies into existing regimens, including discussions of such issues as potential        drug-herb interactions.In this volume in the Weil Integrative Medicine Library, the        authors describe a rational and evidence-based approach to the integrative therapy        of mental disorders integrating the principles of alternative and complementary        therapies into the principles and practice of conventional psychiatry and        psychology. The authors will examine what works and what doesn't, and offer        practical guidelines for physicians to incorporate integrative medicine into their        practice and to advise patients on reasonable and effective therapies. The text        discusses areas of controversy and identifies areas of uncertainty where future        research is needed. Chapters also cite the best available evidence for both the        safety and the efficacy of all therapies discussed. The information is presented in        accessible and easy-to-read formats, including clinical pearls and key points, with        a second text color for highlighting key information.
