This book is quite disappointing for those who are knowledgeable in this subject area. One new to the subject might find CE-VI serves as a quick (but weak)overview. In other words, Baldwin never addresses any one of the subject areas with depth. Each book chapter is only a summary of the area it addresses with a few very short case histories inserted. I would suggest all purchase "Remarkable Healings: A Psychiatrist Discovers Unsuspected Roots of Mental and Physical Illness" by Shakuntala Modi.
