商品簡介
Olver and Robotin (University of Sydney, Australia) unite 20 international contributors in public health, psychiatry, and medicine, as well as those who practice and use complementary and alternative medicines (CAM). The book's mixture of patient and practitioner stories, strong opinions, and scientific reviews encompasses a wide range of perspectives on CAM, both for and against. Some of the major themes discussed are the classification of CAM, problems in researching CAM, and regulation of CAM. Other areas highlighted include what to tell the public about CAM, what medical practitioners and students should know about CAM, and how to integrate CAM into Western medical practice. The book offers a clean, readable layout with many headings and subheadings. It is distributed in the US by World Scientific. Annotation c2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
