Many mental health professionals are horrified at the thought of faith-based healing ministers trying to treat people with true schizophrenia or dissociative post-traumatic-stress disorder by praying against demonic spirits.
Many faith-based healing ministers are horrified at the thought of psychiatrists diagnosing a brain-chemistry imbalance and subjecting a patient to a lifetime of mind-altering medications when they have seen similar cases completely resolved by a combination of healing for underlying traumatic memories and interventions to resolve associated spiritual issues.
In Mind and Brain, Karl Lehman, M.D., a board-certified psychiatrist who has studied the mind and the brain for over forty years, presents a theoretical foundation that will enable mental health professionals and emotional healing ministers to work together, as complementary players on the same team. He also presents concrete, practical guidance for all who care for those with spiritual issues, psychological trauma, and mental illnesses.
Endorsements
"Dr. Karl makes it clear that there is a time and place for psychotropic medications and a time and place for non-biological faith-based approaches. And there is a time and place for both at the same time. This book should be required reading for training as a mental health professional across broad disciplines including psychiatry, psychiatric nurse practitioners, licensed counselors, pastors, social workers, and psychologists."

“In this seminal book, Dr. Lehman begins to disassemble over a century’s worth of psychological thought that has restricted mental health care professionals to an “either or -- faith or science”, theoretical base from which to operate.”

“This book is a welcome voice of clarity and rationality speaking into the fraught discussion of brain versus mind….It engages our sense of wonder at the complexity of the human being that God has wrought, while also providing practical help for how we can best use all the tools available to us to bring relief to those who suffer from both biological brain issues and non-biological mind/spirit issues.”
