A dynamic approach to mental health and wellness, ready for any clinician to implement.

Wellness is rapidly becoming an issue of great importance in clinical practice. Wellness-centric clinicians look to improve various traits known to be beneficial to patients— traits such as happiness, enthusiasm, resilience, and optimism (referred to as the HERO traits). All of these not only improve global mental wellness, but also offer resilience against stress, depression, and anxiety. Wellness-centric interventions augment both psychopharmacology and traditional psychotherapies, such as CBT.

Rakesh and Saundra Jain start with an in- depth review of the scientific literature and a practical introduction on applying wellness interventions in various clinical settings. Additionally, they offer advice on such beneficial practices as exercise, mindfulness, optimized nutrition, optimized sleep, enhanced socialization, and positive psychology enhancement. A robust resource section offers access to wellness-centric scales and forms developed by the authors.

Reviews for The Science and Practice of Wellness: Interventions for Happiness, Enthusiasm, Resilience, and Optimism (HERO)

Diminished wellness is ubiquitous among persons with medical/mental disorders, as well as in the general population. Drs. Saundra and Rakesh Jain have written an erudite, encyclopedic, thoughtful, and accessible book about wellness. Their empathy and humanity emanates and surrounds each chapter. The global epidemiologic transition has invited the need for this kind of authoritative text about resiliency, wellness, and positive mental health.--Roger S. McIntyre, M.D., FRCPC, Professor of Psychiatry and Pharmacology, University of Toronto
