This major, new book is a complete, easily accessed and highly
illustrated guide to diagnosis in Chinese Medicine. Emphasis is
placed on "real world" issues and symptoms, and the text focuses on
clear interpretations of signs and symptoms - the practice beyond
the theory. Since Chinese medicine diagnosis relies on a subjective
appraisal of the patient's symptoms and signs - which form a
pattern - many factors beyond traditional Western symptoms are
taken into consideration e.g. a patient's voice, the absence of
thirst, feeling hot or cold, the patient's smell, tone of voice,
glitter of eyes. Thus, Chinese diagnosis is based on a subtle
appraisal of a patient's disharmony, which may not be a "disease"
at all, and as such requires careful interpretation of a range of
nuances. This book will help lead students and practitioners
through basic on to sophisticated levels of diagnostic
interpretation One-of-a-kind text gives you a clinical
understanding of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Rich, unique content
offers an unparalleled depth of information that is meticulously
cross-referenced. Includes all the signs and symptoms that a modern
patient may present in the clinic, no matter how subtle. Outlines
the decision-making options in key situations to help you through
the most challenging topics. Case histories with diagnoses present
common conditions that professionals will often find in practice.
Logically organized to help you quickly find the information you
need in clinical situations. Written by a leader in the field of
Chinese medicine provides you with an expert's clinical experience
and understanding. NEW! Clinical and Treatments notes provide
practical information on acupuncture - including herbal treatment,
when appropriate - for most symptoms and signs, giving the book a
clinical application in therapy. NEW! UPDATED full-color design and

that you should know after completing a chapter. NEW! Thoroughly
