Restoring Psychotherapy as the First Line Intervention in Behavioral Care

📖 The Scoop

"This is not an anti-medication book. Psychotropic therapy has an important role to play in the treatment of mental and emotional conditions when prescribed appropriately. But in this era, when psychiatrists no longer perform psychotherapy and medications are being overly prescribed, the American public is being deprived of an important therapeutic resource. In many, if not most emotional conditions, psychotherapy brings a rapid resolution to the life problems causing or exacerbating symptoms, sparing the patient years and even a lifetime of dependence on medications that unfortunately are fraught with serious and life-threatening side-effects. By restoring psychotherapy once again as the first-line intervention with mental and emotional problems, our society will greatly benefit from relief of a vexing and growing problem."--Back cover.
