Seeing a therapist was once thought to be a sign of emotional instability; today people are surprised if someone doesn"t see one. A therapist can help families, couples, children, and individuals deal with an array of emotional issues. The Therapy Sourcebook defines different types of mental illnesses and conditions and how people can get effective treatment. It explains the various forms of therapy including cognitive, behavioral, and pharmacotherapy and provides information on how to find a therapist and what to ask in the first session. The book also includes advice on self-help programs, adjunct therapies, and natural therapy to supplement conventional therapy practices.
