Two hundred people were turned away from the first “National Integrative Mental Health Conference” held recently in Phoenix, due to unexpectedly high interest.
In a page one story reported in the National Psychologist (Nov/Dec), the conference was said to cover the newest “mind- body approaches to treat mood disorders, such as exercise, nutritional strategies, meditation, breathing instruction, hypnosis, resilience training, acupuncture, laughter therapy, and spiritual practices,” according to Andrew Weil, M.D., chair and co- director of the conference.
In the NP article, Dr. Weil said that the unexpected attendance was “–indicative of growing dissatisfaction with solely biochemical approaches to mental health treatment.”
