Until recently, complementary medical knowledge has generally been
treated as 'marginal' or 'heterodox' knowledge. However, the rise
of complementary medicine within health-care systems has signalled
the end of its marginal status. With this have come concerns about
how knowledge is generated within complementary therapies; what
kind of authority can be accorded to such knowledge; the nature of
research agendas; what ideas and skills are central to training and
how they are transmitted. This book examines these concerns in
relation to a range of healing practices: acupuncture, homeopathy,
chiropractic, reflexology, Chi Kung, herbalism and osteopathy. The
contributors to bring sociological, anthropological and
practitioner perspectives to the growing debate about the future of
complementary medicine.
