Book Reviews of Whole Person Healthcare [Three Volumes] [3 volumes]

Book Review: The Best Source for Alternative and Supplemental Health Approaches
Summary: 5 Stars

This very readable compilation of opinion and guidance from the most eminent practitioners and thinkers is an excellent one stop source for information and guidance for alternative approaches to healthcare.

Today in the US there is more out of pocket expenditure on alternative wellness and healing products, services and practices than on traditional medicine. This category is becoming increasingly important as baby-boomers seek to have greater control of their own health care and seek alternatives to the pharma-industrial complex.

The editor, Ilene Ava Serlin, has done a great service for the field in providing this very timely and comprehensive series. It is an excellent resource to health care providers as well as informed laypeople.

The only criticism is the price of the series and that all three volumes must be purchased together. This will inhibit its distribution, particularly to individual healthcare practitioners and laypeople. It would be preferable if individual chapters could be purchased as pdf files or podcasts; most people are interested in certain approaches and may not want all. Hopefully, the publisher will make this series more adaptable so many more people can access this wonderful work by so many dedicated professionals who contributed to the effort.

Summary of Whole Person Healthcare [Three Volumes] [3 volumes]

Introduced by two giants in the field of medicine, David Spiegel, M.D., of Stanford University and Dean Ornish, M.D., at the University of California, these volumes show how Western and non-Western healing practices?including yoga, meditation, QiGong, art, music, and dance therapy?are being integrated with modern Western medicine and psychology, in hospitals and at nontraditional healthcare facilities. Breaking research on this growing field is featured, as are observations by healthcare professionals who say the new approaches are helping patients?and also helping professionals rediscover their ancient role as healers. Each focused, practical chapter includes a Tool Kit for Change, summarizing major treatment points from a particular perspective. Examples of training templates, funded programs, and treatment protocols are included. Prevention and lifestyle are addressed, as are cures.
