Description

Is the mind more than just the brain? Dr. Arnd-Caddigan believes so - and presents a persuasive hypothesis, models, and theories to help mental health patients achieve comprehensive wellbeing.

Despite the shedding of stigma that seeking mental health help has experienced in the last five years, treatment has failed to evolve with the dynamic challenges that mental health patients experience on a daily basis. Many regard existing treatment models as the only options.

However, when practitioners move past the thought that our minds are a side effect of neuro-chemical processes, a new perception occurs. Dr. Arnd-Caddigan believes psychologists and mental health professionals can escape the "straight-jacket" in which current treatment models place solutions. Industry leaders already know that defining people as mentally ill and asking them about symptoms, triggers, and coping mechanisms doesn't help them overcome mental suffering. So what's next?

Dr. Arnd-Caddigan proposes a new philosophy and perception for treatment: seeing a person as a mind, a spirit, and a social being in addition to their body to achieve a truly holistic approach to mental well-being.

Dive into the intricate, well-researched teachings of Dr. Arnd-Caddigan to unveil the machinations of her new philosophy and how it can apply to your patients. The author even provides her own model of holistic psychotherapy -Mind-Centered Depth Therapy - which includes both theoretical and practical information.

Written as both an accessible resource for any interested non-professional and a keystone guidebook for psychotherapists and mental health counselors, Holistic Psychotherapy provides an approachable and informative model of holistic psychotherapy. Mental health coaches and consumers of therapy/counseling/coaching resources will also find Dr. Arnd-Caddigan's book a staple for their bookshelves.
