The History of American Homeopathy - From Rational Medicine to Holistic Health Care (Paperback)

"A key achievement of this intriguing book is in capturing the shifting and diverse nature of homeopathy itself, which Haller depicts as having developed from an empirical science to a religious belief system. Haller encompasses the complexity of the development of homeopathy within a cogent narrative." -Bulletin of the History of Medicine "John Haller, an eminent historian of alternative medicine, has written a unique and finely woven account on homeopathy and the transformations that have characterized its long history. In this volume, he focuses on its evolving status from a medical practitioner based system of treatment to one now largely embraced by segments of the public in search of alternative therapies. Well-organized and bearing the imprint of a master historian, it is a pleasure to read." -Pascal James Imperato, School of Public Health, State University of New York, Downstate "Haller takes readers on a historical journey involving American homeopathy as it traversed the political, professional, scientific, and cultural landscape from the late 19th century to the beginning of the 21st century. Experts and novices to American homeopathy will find this book to be comprehensive, objective, informative, and engaging. Recommended." -Choice
