Following the success of Troubles psychiques en médecine chinoise, here is Philippe Sionneau's new work on psychological disorders. It comprises two distinct and complementary parts.

The first is a remarkable study of one of the great ills of our time: mental depression. Drawing on the traditional materials of Chinese medicine, the author develops the art of understanding, diagnosing and treating this condition through a clear and rigorous methodology.

The second is a presentation of all the acupuncture points effective in treating psychological disorders (insomnia, fear, agitation, irritability, anger, sadness, depression, neurosis, psychosis, anxiety, etc.).

Drawing on both ancient and contemporary Chinese texts, Philippe Sionneau brings together all the reliable data on the subject. The result is a concrete, precise and practical tool for study and understanding. Never before has such a detailed book been published on these two fields.
