> who is this dr jensen fellow,and what does this book all about that he wrote? has anyone read it? thanks, rogdog

You should study his book. No harm in that, and nothing to lose, right? At least then you could attempt to pick apart his theories piece by piece.

He's quite a gentleman. He's an authentic pharmacological expert. I've been treated by him, so I know.

That being said, his website does him injustice. It gives the wrong impression. Very wrong.

When conventional methods are failing, Jensen's methods succeed. The reason is simple. No stones are left unturned. That's it. Often in real life we see difficult patients get well with medicines that have no clinical justification for their symptoms. That's the foundation of Jensen's approach.

Critics should read the book before offerring critique.

Peer reviewed or not, there's something in the book for everyone. Laymen, scholars, graduates, residency training, researchers. Each can pick and choose what is useful or not in their own application, as is done with any other book a person studies. Each will have greater insight and depth than they had previously. But ultimately it provides the most benefit to an open minded physician treating a difficult patient. Or a frustrated patient desiring more understanding than a shrug of a shoulder.

What amazes me is that Jensen's harshest critics are the same ones who refuse to study the book. Amazing ego, I wonder? Amazing ignorance, I wonder? I don't know. Interesting pattern. Very interesting.

I have always felt being open-minded is a good quality to possess in psychiatry.
