Rating:  - a great book for conventional physicians
i'm still busy reading the book (final chapters).
dr. kaptchuk succeeds in presenting the chinese phylosophy to physicians reared on conventional ideas and practice.

great book, great purchase.

However, this is one of the FIRST INTRO BOOKS written in the 70's.
Thank you for setting the course!
