This new series is directed to healthcare professionals who increasingly need information on holistic approaches to chronic illness in response to the growing demand from patients. Managed care has deferred responsibility for initial diagnosis and treatment of chronic conditions to primary care physicians and other healthcare professionals. The University of California's Institute for Health and Aging predicts that by 2020, 134 million Americans will have some form of chronic condition that will cause personal limitations or disabilities. Only about 33% of these patients will be "elderly". This book includes both conventional and alternative approaches to all common diseases. Organized by disease category, which is consistent with the way clinicians think and practice medicine, the book incorporates the medical terminology used in primary care practice. It incorporates the philosophical underpinnings of holistic medicine centering on key aspects of health promotion, prevention and treatment directed at giving the patient the best opportunity to experience "optimum health".The text includes 60 of the most common diseases covering prevention and treatment; treatment options appear in bullets for ease of use. Alternative approaches are categorized into the following areas: environmental, nutritional, psychoneuroimmunological, social, botanical etc and the text is up-to-date with current examples of medical evidence. Each disease is treated with a description, discussion of prevalence, risk factors, conventional treatment and holistic treatment.

This book provides a comprehensive review of common adult mental disorders and substance use disorders. The chapters were written by teams of researchers and clinicians, thus providing an integration of empirical findings with clinical experience. Family issues, relapse prevention, the use of self-help groups and co-morbidity are addressed throughout since many patients have multiple disorders and relapse risk is high. In addition, this book integrates considerable information about treatment adherence, and provides the reader with helpful strategies on ways to enhance patient compliance with pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy, as well as strategies for increasing motivation to change. A "recovery" paradigm is used throughout the book that advocates the importance of helping the patient take an active role in managing his or her disorders. The introductory chapter summarizes mental disorders and substance use disorders and provides a comprehensive framework for recovery.The text provides useful clinical information on treatment and medication for the major psychiatric disorder groups (substance abuse, anxiety, mood, schizophrenia, eating and borderline personality disorders) and focuses on both psychological and medication treatments. The book is written in an easy to understand style and should be useful to both primary care and mental health professionals.
