A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Foundations of mental health in CAM

Foundations of mental health in Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) focus on the holistic view of mind, body, and spirit, the role of cultural beliefs, and the evidence base for CAM interventions in mental health. Mastering these ideas helps students answer questions on CAM theories, therapeutic mechanisms, and the integration of CAM into conventional mental health care.
