In reply to Book Recommendation?, posted by MM on August 3, 2001, at 5:00:24
> Someone mentioned a book on meds and drugs in general (the definitive guide or something) that sounded interesting, but I can't find the post in the archives. Does anyone have any book recommendations (for a dummy, something even *I* can understand) on psych meds and drugs (marijuana etc.) and brain chemicals behavior?
There is a really good book called "The Successful Treatment of Brain Chemical Imbalance", by Dr Martin Jensen.
His teachings are quite unique and different, but easy for a layman to read and understand. Be forewarned though, at first it seems like a radical departure from conventional psychiatry. But the more and more you read it, the more and more you realize it is just an extension of existing conventional psychiatry. His techniques and conventional psychiatry marry together very well. But like I said, at first it seems radical. After you are done reading, you realize it is not radical at all. It actually blends with current psychiatry like peanut butter and jam. It's only around $30 or $40, and is the best of many psychiatric books I've ever read.
