Product Description

This book presents a three-stage methodology for moving from a TCM diagnosis to the statement of therapeutic principles, to the erection and administration of an acupuncture treatment plan. It explains in depth how to do a complex, individualised TCM diagnosis, how to arrange and make sense of confusing signs and symptoms and how to think using TCM terms and statements.

A neat little review 1 Dec 2000

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

I bought this book when I was wanting to review for my senior level exams in acupuncture. This book is a neat little review of things a practitioner should think about when approaching a patient. It walks you through diagnosis and point selection in almost a narrative manner. Not a really comprehensive reference but a handy little book that is easy to read. I picked up many little points from it.
