This book chronicles the transformation of the holistic health
movement over the past three decades, as it increasingly influences
the delivery of health care in America. In it, he describes the
battle for legitimacy by alternative therapeutic practitioners, and
the biomedical profession's increasing interest in the
possibilities of a complementary and integrative medical system.
Baer examines a variety of professionalized and lay heterodox
therapeutic systems, including chiropractors, naturopaths and
acupuncturists, homeopaths, bodyworkers, and lay midwives. He
shows, ironically, how the holistic movement may become more
limited as it gains acceptance and becomes integrated into
mainstream, professional medicine. This book is a valuable resource
for instructors, students, professionals and others interested in
public health issues, health policy, medical studies, health
economics, medical anthropology and sociology.
