This book was released on 2006-03-29 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year, more than 33 million Americans receive health care for mental or substance-use conditions, or both. Together, mental and substance-use illnesses are the leading cause of death and disability for women, the highest for men ages 15-44, and the second highest for all men. Effective treatments exist, but services are frequently fragmented and, as with general health care, there are barriers that prevent many from receiving these treatments as designed or at all. The consequences of this are seriousâ€"for these individuals and their families; their employers and the workforce; for the nation's economy; as well as the education, welfare, and justice systems. Improving the Quality of Health Care for Mental and Substance-Use Conditions examines the distinctive characteristics of health care for mental and substance-use conditions, including payment, benefit coverage, and regulatory issues, as well as health care organization and delivery issues. This new volume in the Quality Chasm series puts forth an agenda for improving the quality of this care based on this analysis. Patients and their families, primary health care providers, specialty mental health and substance-use treatment providers, health care organizations, health plans, purchasers of group health care, and all involved in health care for mental and substanceâ€"use conditions will benefit from this guide to achieving better care.

Download or read book Radical Healing written by Rudolph Ballentine and published by Three Rivers Press (CA). This book was released on 1999 with total page 623 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This extraordinary book offers nothing less than a new vision of medical care. Rudolph Ballentine, M.D., has created a unique, integrative blending of the primary holistic schools of healing that is far more potent than any one of these alone. Like Deepak Chopra and Andrew Weil, Rudolph Ballentine is a medical doctor who became intrigued by the workings of mind-body medicine and looked beyond the West in his search for understanding. Drawing on thirty years of medical study and practice, Dr. Ballentine has accomplished a singular feat: integrating the wisdom of the great traditional healing systems--especially Ayurveda, homeopathy, Traditional Chinese Medicine, European and Native American herbology, nutrition, psychotherapy, and bodywork. Melded together, the profound principles buried in these systems become clearer and stronger, and a new level of effectiveness becomes possible. Healing and reorganization are accelerated and deepened--physically, emotionally, and spiritually. The result is transformation. The result is radical healing. Radical Healing harnesses nature's medicinals--plants and other natural substances--with commonsense essentials such as diet, exercise, and cleansing, as well as the most profound principles of spiritual and psychological transformation. In Dr. Ballentine's synthesis, illness is an opportunity for growth that can go far beyond recovery. Through radical healing old habits and attitudes that supported the development of disease fall away, to be replaced by the clarity that comes with a whole new way of being in the world.

Download or read book Neuropsychotherapy written by Pieter Rossouw and published by . This book was released on 2014-10-27 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book Pieter Rossouw and his colleagues have made a wonderful and exciting contribution to the world of psychology, psychotherapy and counselling by bringing into practical reality the importance of an integrative approach to the psychosocial care of others. The book presents a ground-breaking, new integrated model of neuropsychotherapy, based on years of research, clinical practice and teaching in the neuropsychotherapy field. Dr Rossouw's integrated model of neuropsychotherapy develops and enhances the theoretical work of Seymour Epstein and Klaus Grawe and recognises that safety in the therapeutic alliance is a core component and guiding tenet of a neuropsychotherapeutic approach. Through the principles of neuroscience the book takes us on a challenging, yet exciting journey exploring the application of brain-based therapies. Section A of the book (chapters 1, 2 and 3) reviews the development through history of how neuroscience has informed schools of psychology and therapeutic approaches, and critiques existing theoretical constructs. Section B (the remaining 17 chapters) offers a series of case studies, written by practising clinicians from across Australia, in varying clinical settings and the application of a neuropsychotherapeutic approach and principles for a wide range of psychopathologies. This book is the culmination of a significant interest in and passion for engaging with people suffering from a range of mental challenges. It is also the result of a passion for understanding the human brain and how our genetic footprint is expressed through engaging with the environment. It is this interaction that leads to genetic expression and (in safe, enriched environments) leads to healthy neural development and the capacity not only to survive the challenges of life but also to thrive. When survival is compromised, changes in the brain occur. These changes express on a neurochemical and neuro-structural level and alter neural networks and can lead to the onset of psychopathology. This book challenges our science, our art and perhaps most importantly of all, our humanity. For years in the real world clinicians have known the value of an holistic, integrative approach but often only whispered words like 'eclectic' and 'holistic' and 'integrative' in describing their practice for fear of being ridiculed for lacking a purist psychological doctrine. This book offers real validation to the care that people had known to always work and Dr Rossouw and his colleagues deserve the thanks of many, many practitioners for giving strength and confidence and structure to their practice. The view of human distress as a disease to be treated by 'experts' is placed aside in recognising the power of human beings and their minds to heal and grow and change within a place of safety, to be found in the sanctuary of the therapeutic setting. Dr Rossouw and his colleagues have helped to return the people who deserve our care to the centre of healing where they belong. They have placed them there along with the wonder of relationship and connection. Dr Rossouw is constantly mindful of so many people that suffer on a daily basis with various presentations of mental distress. This book is ultimately for every one of them. Dr Rossouw's hope is that this volume will open some new insights and pathways for clinicians to engage with their clients in such a way that the theoretical underpinnings and clinical applications of neuropsychotherapy will open new perspectives and facilitate new neural pathways to thrive and enhance quality of life.

Download or read book Between Heaven and Earth written by Harriet Beinfield and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2013-12-18 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Comprehensive, encyclopedic, and lucid, this book is a must for all practitioners of the healing arts who want to broaden their understanding. Readers interested in the role of herbs and foods in healing will also find much to learn here, as I have. . . . A fine work.”—Annemarie Colbin, author of Food and Healing The promise and mystery of Chinese medicine has intrigued and fascinated Westerners ever since the “Bamboo Curtain” was lifted in the early 1970s. Now, in Between Heaven and Earth, two of the foremost American educators and healers in the Chinese medical profession demystify this centuries-old approach to health. Harriet Beinfeld and Efrem Korngold, pioneers in the practice of acupuncture and herbal medicine in the United States for over eighteen years, explain the philosophy behind Chinese medicine, how it works and what it can do. Combining Eastern traditions with Western sensibilities in a unique blend that is relevant today, Between Heaven and Earth addresses three vital areas of Chinese medicine—theory, therapy, and types—to present a comprehensive, yet understandable guide to this ancient system. Whether you are a patient with an aggravating complaint or a curious intellectual seeker, Between Heaven and Earth opens the door to a vast storehouse of knowledge that bridges the gap between mind and body, theory and practice, professional and self-care, East and West. “Groundbreaking . . . Here at last is a complete and readable guide to Chinese medicine.”—San Francisco Chronicle
