Description of course and content |
This is an important subject for study as psychological disorders are extremely common. Many people who come for treatment have evidence of mental or emotional imbalances, although these may not be the primary presenting symptom. The module covers main categories of mental health disorder that are seen in the clinic. Terms and labels are used which allow cross-reference with other more conventional texts. In most areas however, the discussion is decidedly unconventional as conditions are described from a holistic and homeopathic point of view. Some ideas, therefore, may not be familiar to conventional practitioners or those with previous experience of such conditions. Contents: |
