Chinese Medical Psychiatry

Written in collaboration by one of the world's top English language authorities on Chinese medicine and a Western psychiatrist, this book is a must have for anyone interested in the Chinese medical treatment of psycho-emotional diseases.

This book covers the disease causes and mechanisms, pattern discrimination, treatment principles, and Chinese medicinal and acupuncture-moxibustion treatment of more than twenty traditional Chinese psychiatric diseases - as well as the same information on the Chinese medical treatment of most Western psychiatric diseases. Each chapter - dealing with either a traditional Chinese or modern Western disease category - also includes extensive information on the Western medical nosology, etiology, differential diagnosis, patho-physiology, epidemiology, treatment, side effects, and criteria for referral written by Dr. James Lake, a Weatern psychiatrist.

This book is intended for students and practitioners of Chinese medicine as well as practitioners of other health care systems interested in Chinese medicine and psychiatry and its complications. Hopefully, the information it contains will be of use to all those interested in treating and researching Chinese medicine and psychiatry.
