Chan\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntegrative therapy focuses on the mind-body-spirit relationship, recognizes spirituality as a fundamental domain of human existence, acknowledges and utilizes the mind's power as well as the body's, and reaches beyond self-actualization or symptom reduction to broaden a perception of self that connects individuals to a larger sense of themselves and to their communities. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen it was published in 2009, \u003cem\u003eIntegrative Body-Mind-Spirit Social Work\u003c\/em\u003e was the first book to strongly connect Western therapeutic techniques with Eastern philosophy and practices, while also providing a comprehensive and pragmatic agenda for social work, and mental health professionals. This breakthrough text, written by a cast of highly regarded researchers from both Asia and America, presented a holistic, therapeutic approach that ties Eastern philosophy and practical techniques to Western forms of therapy in order to help bring about positive, transformative changes in individuals and families. This second features a major reorganization of Part III: Applications and Treatment Effectiveness, renamed to \"Evidence-informed Translational Practice and Evidence.\" Based on systematic reviews of Integrative body-mind-spirit practices, Part III provides a \"resource guide\" of different types of integrative practices used in diverse health and mental health conditions. A new companion\u003cbr\u003ewebsite includes streaming video clips showing demonstrations of the BMS techniques described in the book and worksheets and client resources\/handouts. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHere, the authors provide a pragmatic, step-by-step description of assessment and treatment techniques that employ an integrative, holistic perspective. They begin by establishing the conceptual framework of integrative body-mind-spirit social work, then expertly describe, step-by-step, assessment and treatment techniques that utilize integrative and holistic perspectives. Numerous case studies demonstrate the approach in action, such as one with breast cancer patients who participated in body-mind-spirit and social support groups and another in which trauma survivors used meditation to get onto a path of healing. These examples provide solid empirical evidence that integrative body-mind-spirit social work is indeed a practical therapeutic approach in bringing about tangible changes in clients. The authors also discuss ethical issues and give tips for learning integrative body-mind-spirit social work. Professionals in social work, psychology, counseling, and nursing, as well as\u003cbr\u003egraduate students in courses on integral, alternative, or complementary clinical practice will find this a much-needed resource that complements the growing interest in alternatives to traditional Western psychotherapy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMo Yee Lee\u003c\/strong\u003e, PhD, RSW, Professor and PhD Program Director, College of Social Work, The Ohio State University \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCelia H.
