Mind–Body Medicine in Inpatient Psychiatry

Dr. Tomasi's book offers an insider's view to a comprehensive integrative strategy to improve clinical outcomes in inpatient psychiatry. A seminal piece of work modeling a truly integrative approach to mental health. A must-read for all health-care providers wanting to implement a mind-body approach.--Dr. Karen C. Westervelt, University of Vermont Integrative Health Education Director My expectation is that this book will inspire a better understanding of mental health through the lens of group therapy/psychotherapy. I would hope that the group therapist is seen as a vital part of the multidisciplinary treatment team on inpatient psychiatry units including psychotherapists, psychiatrists, nurses, and social workers.--Sheri Gates, MA, Psychotherapist/Group Therapist, UVMMC My hope is that this book opens further doors of fostering change in inpatient settings and creates further accessibility to all integrative therapies. The role of the group therapist/psychotherapist, as an integral member of the psychiatry team, generates connections with patients and crafts a therapeutic alliance that cultivates resilience and nurtures recovery. As a member of this field, I believe our theories/practices can truly touch any individual.--Emily Reyns, MA, R-DMT, MHC, Psychotherapist/Group Therapist, UVMMC Tomasi draws attention to how our physical health depends on our sense of connectedness with others including health providers. Well worth reading for the general public but especially health-care professionals in different fields.--Dr. Nonna Aydinyan-Allaire, Physical Therapy specialist in South Burlington VT
