The scientists, academics and practitioners writing this book are
not 'against' complementary or alternative medicine (CAM), but they
are very much 'for' evidence-based medicine and single standards.
They aim to counter-balance the many uncritical books on CAM and to
stimulate intelligent, well-informed public debate. The topics
include: What is CAM? Why is it so popular? It also includes:
Patient choice; Reclaiming compassion; Teaching CAM at university;
Research on CAM; CAM in court; Ethics and CAM; Politics and CAM;
Homeopathy in context; Concepts of holism in medicine; Placebo,
deceit and CAM; Healing but not curing; and CAM and the media.
