Brain Science and Psychological Disorders: New Perspectives on Psychotherapeutic Treatment

In doing so, Kraly explains the roles of pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy in helping to repair various mental health problems, including depression and mania, anxiety, substance abuse, bulimia and anorexia, ADHD, and schizophrenia.
