She tells the stories of pioneers in the field of psychiatry who fought for more compassionate, respectful and effective treatments. While providing information on the major mental health diagnoses, Siebert also shares ideas and resources to support those who are suffering, including holistic ways of balancing mind, body, heart and spirit. -- adapted from jacket and Amazon info |
