Integrative medicine has more to it than simply integrating non-medication treatments with medication treatments or conventional care. How does it really differ from conventional medicine? Timothy J. Hayes interviews Dr. Lila Massoumi, the Chair of the American Psychiatric Association Caucus on Complementary and Integrative Psychiatry and the author of the first-ever chapter on Complementary & Integrative Treatments for the American Psychiatric Association Publishing Textbook of Psychiatry. Dr. Massoumi educates us further about her unique field in psychiatry by explaining how integrative psychiatry differs from other forms of psychiatry such as conventional and integrated psychiatry. She also goes through a few of its tenets they subscribe to.
