About the Book

Discover holistic approaches to psychiatric healing.

Your previous experience with conventional psychiatry likely consisted of suppressing symptoms with pharmaceuticals without considering you as a whole person. It’s probable that there was little exploration of the power of the sacred to promote healing, which is especially crucial in our current climate of widespread fear and disconnection.

In Sacred Psychiatry, you will be introduced to a diverse range of holistic approaches to healing. This book offers invaluable guidance on how to develop a personal spiritual practice and highlights the profound significance of fulfilling the soul’s purpose. It illustrates the usefulness of astrology, emphasizes how toxic relationships undermine healing, and showcases the remarkable healing power of food as medicine. Sacred Psychiatry also provides a holistic framework for weaning off of psychiatric pharmaceuticals and highlights treatable but frequently overlooked complex chronic conditions such as mold toxicity, mast cell activation syndrome, and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.

Judy Suzanne Reis Tsafrir, MD, is a holistic healer with a private psychiatry and psychoanalysis practice in Newton, Massachusetts. She is a board-certified adult and child psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, is on the faculty of Harvard Medical School and the Boston Psychoanalytic Institute, and teaches and supervises at the Cambridge Health Alliance.

REVIEW

The International Journal of Healing and Caring

Jan 18, 2024

Book review by Eric Leskowitz MD: "The title of Dr. Judith Tsafrir’s new book, Sacred Psychiatry, would seem to be a contradiction in terms. It’s been at least a generation since psychiatry abandoned its soul (psyche in Greek) in its quest for the latest medication. But this book does not misfire — it lives up to its provocative paradigm-busting title and its dauntingly wide range of topics. It informs, excites and inspires, because the obvious expertise and experience Dr. Tsafrir has developed while exploring an exceptionally wide range of healing practices serves to fortify the vision of true healing that she describes here."

We are both separate and part of our worlds. Psychiatrist Judy Tsafrir drew a card from a tarot deck composed of trees that mirrored my intent and helped strengthen it. How does this mirroring work? We make our guesses. More important is that it happens and can be helpful to you. Look for the reflections. They are there!
