Well I haven't read the whole book yet but from what I gather so far, it isn't 'solely' by using the meds. It sounds like he advocates counseling or group meetings or traditional methods after being on the meds or maybe at the same time. I forget. I think it was the general idea of using the meds to improve the brain enough to get the counseling to be more effective.

Don't quote me though.
