A thoughtful and comprehensive reference guide for healthcare professionals committed to providing their patients with the best in integrative medicine. -- Joseph Pizzorno, ND, Editor-in-Chief, Int This book provides the scientific basis for a holistic, integrative model for treating anxiety and depression. While more research is needed, our current understanding of their treatment has been skewed by a long mistaken history of separating the brain from the rest of the body.
