Classical 89 Thinking Aloud: http://www.classical89.org/thinkingaloud/past.asp?d=10/24/2008Two formerly separate worlds have converged in a new book titled Matters of the Mind: Latter-day Saint Helps for Mental Health. The book comprises chapters on mental disorders and we're discussing its rationale with two of the editors, both LDS clinical psychologists.
- What mental illnesses have you come up against in your life? How have you coped?
- Mental illnesses aren’t different for those who believe in the LDS religion versus those who do not; so do you think there should be books like this specifically for the LDS community?
- How do you view the utilization of professional treatment for mental health problems?

I think it's important for an LDS perspective if only because it'll be sold in LDS bookstores and will give those who have no clue about mental illness the opportunity to think about mental illness and how it may affect others in their lives...it seems to be such a dirty word in the LDS community when free agency is pounded into our heads...just a thought.
