Format:Hardcover
This a well timed book when the public are becoming increasing aware of Complimentary and Alternative therapies (CAMs). Many nurses now wish to incorporate Cams into their everyday practice.
Rankin-Box a qualified nurse herself firstly guides nurses throughthe history and potential benefits of cams for both practioners and nurses. There is a large section on the legal and ethical issues surronding CAMs).
There are contributions from other authors who are practioners in those particular therapies e.g. reflexology, homeopathy etc.
It's well written and aimed at both nurses and the public.
So as an overview into CAMS this is an excellent starting point.
