The role of intuition is seldom identified in acupuncture training
as one of the keys to effective practice. John Hamwee here explores
its paramount importance in diagnosis and treatment, showing how
development of the intuitive sense, and its appropriate use in the
treatment room, is vital to building the most effective individual
practice. Through discussion of theory, clinical example, and the
experiences of leading acupuncturists, the author shows how
intuition, or the grasping of subliminal clues, can be developed,
based on the practitioner's growing `storeroom' of clinical
experience and why it is so useful for this to become a conscious
and rigorously examined process. He discusses the process of
testing intuition against objective observation of the patient, and
how an intuitive leap can provide a shortcut across an innumerable
series of diagnostic steps, and lead to diagnostic and treatment
decisions that make complete sense of the observable phenomena. He
suggests that learning to trust the intuitive faculty, while still
fully interrogating conclusions, is the basis of better patient
outcomes and significantly advanced practice. This thoughtful and
engaging book will be one that acupuncturists will want to read and
reread, and will speak to all therapists, counsellors, and health
practitioners.
