Holistic psychiatry is an emerging approach to mental healthcare that focuses on the biological, psychological, spiritual, and social factors that contribute to mental health issues. Dr. Judy Tsafrir shifted from a conventional practice of psychiatry to one that treats the whole person.  She discusses the limitations of conventional psychiatry and why it’s important to integrate the spiritual, emotional, and physical dimensions of health. Dr. Tsafrir is a holistic healer with a private psychiatry and psychoanalysis practice. She is on the faculty of Harvard Medical School, and is the author of the book, Sacred Psychiatry — Bridging the Personal and Transpersonal to Transform Health and Consciousness.
