Legal Status of Traditional Medicine and Complementary/Alternative Medicine: A Worldwide Review $34.97 Various types of traditional medicine and other medical practices referred to as complementary or alternative medicine are increasingly used in both developing and developed countries. In order to promote safe and appropriate use of these medicines and practices, as well as to ensure the quality of service and practitioners, national regulations are vital.

Healing Traditions: Alternative Medicine and the Health Professions $3.94 "This fascinating book does much to explain why so many people seek help from alternative therapies like acupuncture or herbalism, traditional Chinese medicine or other non-Western therapies."–"Boston Globe" "This book presents a very strong argument that medical clinicians must become more aware of their ‘medicocentric’ bias and learn to accord patients more authority in decisions affecting their treatment."–"Journal of the American Medical Association" ""Healing Traditions" persuasively argues for culture and belief as organizing principles in the choices patients make about whom to see and what to use in seeking relief for suffering…O’Connor offers both a breadth of material and at least the start of an approach worth considering…Healing Traditions has an important message about honoring our patients’ worlds."–"Annals of Internal Medicine" "Well-written, timely, careful. . . . O’Connor’s book is excellent reading and provides a thorough discussion of the meaning of the cultural embeddedness of health care beliefs and behaviors using the United States as an exemplar."–"Medical Anthropology Quarterly" "Although O’Connor’s approach is that of ethnographer rather than historian, her densely packed and imaginatively written presentation illuminates an important historical motif, the ‘colonialism’ (p. 178) of scientific medicine."–"Bulletin of the History of Medicine" The popularity and practice of alternative medicine continues to expand at astonishing rates. In "Healing Traditions," Bonnie Blair O’Connor considers the conflicts that arise between the values and assumptions of Western, scientific medicine and those of unconventional health systems. Providing in-depth examples ofthe importance and benefits of alternative health practices–including the extraordinarily extensive and sophisticated HIV/AIDS alternative therapies movement–O’Connor identifies ways to integrate alternative strategies with orthodox medical treatments in order to ensure the best possible care for patients. In spite of the long-standing prediction that, as science and medicine progressed–and education became more generally available–unconventional systems would die out, they have persisted with undiminished vitality. They have, in fact, experienced a reinvigoration and expansion during the last fifteen to twenty years. In the United States, this renewal is fueled by people representing a wide cross-section of American society, and most of them also use conventional medicine. This eclecticism can result in conflicts between the values and assumptions of Western, scientific medicine and those of unconventional health systems. O’Connor demonstrates the importance of understanding how various belief systems interact and how this interaction affects health care. She argues that through neutral observation and thorough description of health belief sys |

Alternative Medicine and Ethics $3.94 Leading bioethicists and philosophers examine and debate the question of how the health care system should deal with using complimentary and alternative medicines. The distinguished authorities writing here both defend and criticize alternative medicine, with some arguing that the medical system should change substantially in order to accommodate alternative medicine, and others claiming that virtually all alternative treatments are worthless. In the heat of the debate many fundamental issues are raised concerning our health care system, among them the questions of therapeutic effectiveness, media truthfulness, the patient’s freedom to choose among treatment options, health insurance coverage, the ability of the current healthcare delivery system to meet patients’ needs, and government approval of alternative medicines. |
