In Healing Into Wholeness, psychiatrist David Aftergood takes the reader along on his forty-year personal journey seeking wellness, during which he discovers new and unexpected approaches to provide in-depth physical, mental and emotional healing to his patients.
Combining personal memoir with accounts of the teachers and healers he met along the way, and how he applied their techniques to his own practice, Dr. Aftergood tells the story of the development of an integrative, whole person-centered approach to psychiatric treatment.
Written in a lively, personal and engaging style, Healing Into Wholeness will appeal to psychiatrists, therapists of all stripes and anyone seriously engaged in their own journey toward wellness and wholeness.
Healing Into Wholeness is a precious book that describes David's personal and professional journey over many years. I loved the human tone combined with clear professional presence. I think it will be helpful to many people on similar paths".
