Los Naufragios del Alma es algo mas que un libro centrado en el analisis y el tratamiento de la enfermedad mental mediante la Acupuntura: esta escrito a ritmo de testamental, vertiendo una experiencia de mas de veinte anos de infatigable trabajo en consulta, y en el, Toty de Naveran describe con exquisito rigor cientifico, humanizado en clave poetica, los entresijos del dolor psiquico humano. El resultado es un texto que nace envuelto en la esperanza de sembrar alivio y consuelo en los B"desasosegados de la menteB" y, al mismo tiempo, en el anhelo de conmover las conciencias de los profesionales de la salud con el animo de que se dispongan a la busqueda de nuevos tratamientos que no se dejen invalidar por diagnosticos considerados incurables o de muy dificil solucion. Con estos parametros iniciales, Los Naufragios del Alma refleja un claro proposito: el de humanizar la enfermedad mental trascendiendo toda historia clinica en historia humana no siempre sujeta a protocolos generales en los que apenas tienen cabida los intimos recodos en donde comenzo el desvario. Toty de Naveran combina su labor clinica con la docencia en el B"Magister de Acupuntura y MoxibustionB" que se imparte en la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, y ya ha publicado en esta coleccion otro titulo imprescindible: B"Los olvidos de la memoria. A proposito de la Acupuntura como tratamiento de la enfermedad de Alzheimer basado en el Codigo Genetico descrito en el I-ChingB." En este su segundo libro tecnico, palpita un ensueno: hacer de la locura algo saludable.

The Active Points Test is a clinical instrument for identifying and selecting the points on the skin that are most effective for treatment. These points may be close to the seat of the disease, for example on the shoulder for periarthritis, or far away, for example on the ear or head for stomach pain or a cough. Drawing on principles from TCM and Western medicine, Dr Stefano Marcelli sets out the theory of the approach and offers detailed guidance on how to carry out the test and how to interpret the results, as well as explaining how the test can be used in different therapies. The test is based on the discovery that a patient experiencing an ongoing symptom can be made aware of the capacity of a few points on the skin to treat his or her discomfort. The test involves stimulating the skin to the appropriate degree whilst asking the patient to identify whether there is any change in the symptom he or she is suffering, and can be used to treat a wide range of symptoms, from articular pain to migraine, tachycardia, asthenia and depression. Published for the first time in 1995, this substantially updated edition contains the most recent supporting evidence and many new explanatory diagrams and photographs. Providing a comprehensive and effective system for point selection, this is essential reading for practitioners and students of acupuncture and related reflex and manual therapies, including massage, tuina, Shiatsu and Rolfing.
