ABC of Complementary Medicine

Complementary medicine is an increasing feature of healthcare. The ABC of Complementary Medicine provides a practical, concise and clear overview of this emerging field. This thoroughly revised and updated second edition offers an authoritative introduction to complementary therapies. The ABC of Complementary Medicine answers common concerns about complementary medicine and gives guidance on making appropriate decisions in the real world of clinical practice. It provides structured information on each of the major complementary therapies, gives an overview and advice on the current situation regarding complementary medicine within the NHS, and outlines strategies for discussing complementary medicine with patients. Given the increasing proliferation of information on complementary medicine, much of it promotional or partisan, the ABC of Complementary Medicine provides doctors and other health professionals with essential guidance from an authoritative source.Vickers, Andrew is the author of 'ABC of Complementary Medicine ', published 2007 under ISBN 9781405136570 and ISBN 140513657X.
