New Perspectives Good, and Traditionally Based
30 Oct 1999
Format:Paperback
As a student of 'standardized' TCM, I find Mark Seem's approach refreshing. Doctors of old examined the body with their hands, and directly percieved the subtle Qi and it's state within the body. Actually palpating the body and seeing the truth and information there, instead of intellectually deciding on a diagnosis via symptoms of the patient(accuracy questionable), is something we can all learn from....that is, the hands on approach.

Outstanding book
2 April 2000
Format:Paperback
In response to the previous critique of Mark Seem by "Jane Austen," I would like to mention that Dr. Seem is an outstanding practitioner with well over 20 years of clinical experience in treating patients with acupuncture. I have used a similar approach of combining modern trigger point techniques with classical acupuncture and have had tremendous success. I am a Doctor of Oriental Medicine and have received additional training in China. I find Dr. Seem's critique of the TCM acupuncture is highly accurate. For those who are used to only the TCM methods of acupuncture, I recommend any of Mark Seems books. If you want something that is immediately useful in the clinic, start with this book. "Jane Austen's" critique of Mark Seem betrays her own clinical ignorance. His protocols are safe and effective. I highly recommend this book.

bringing back the importance of palpation and ashi points
28 Dec 1998
Format:Paperback
Seem's book attempts to bring back the importance of ashi points and palpation in order to redress what he sees as a loss of some of the classical tenets of acupuncture. He criticizes modern TCM acupuncture for adhearing to a system of static point location based the skeletal system rather than the practicioner's sense of touch. His references include meridian style acupuncturists, Kiiko Matsumoto, and Travell's work with trigger points and somato-visceral relationships. It is written in a conscise manner, with a definite bias. It is probably a good read for someone who has already studied the TCM literature.
