Read it and pass it to the people you care about. As a therapist, that is how I used to view their treatment. Perhaps for many of these disorders the etiology is based in trauma, however abuse, trauma, etc. Dr. Heller advocates treating all aspects, physical, mental and spiritual. Currently, many of the disorders Dr. Heller lists in his book are underdiagnosed and undertreated.
Many people spend years in therapy only to find they still fit the criteria for the disorders .
This book, I believe, is a necessity for the patient, and for anyone who feels they are not enjoying life to the fullest. Many of us will find ourselves in these pages, where no doctor has found us before. Dr. Heller believes that it is only when patients demand proper treatment that changes can and will be made. I worked as a therapist for many years dealing with many different populations. Had this book been accessible at the start of my career, I would have ordered more medical evaluations on clients, instead of only psychological ones.
