This is the first book to set out a full range of research
strategies for evaluating the clinical practice of acupuncture.
Leading acupuncturists and researchers with international
reputations share their expertise. They illustrate their
descriptions with practical examples of what has worked and what
has not. It outlines many of the key challenges in the field. These
challenges relate to the nature of acupuncture and the gap between
current research evidence and the actual experiences of
acupuncturists in the field. By focusing the chapters on key
research questions, rather than methods, the book has a
user-friendly feel. Each chapter is easily accessible with brief
explanations of research designs as well as vignettes of relevant
past research. The book is based on a deep understanding of
acupuncture, with its inherent complexity in practice, whether
based on traditional principles or more modern concepts. By
incorporating a more sophisticated understanding of the field, this
book details a range of strategies aiming to develop the evidence
base with the utmost rigour. It is the first book on acupuncture
research to take this unique view, integrating the very best of
evidence-based medicine with a genuine sensitivity to the
discipline of acupuncture, from its traditional and holistic roots
to its more modern interpretations.
This exciting book presents a wide variety of intriguing and
challenging cases, drawn from the experiences of 40 leading
practitioners of acupuncture in the West. Written with insight and
understanding, the collective contributions of the authors
demonstrate the vitality and depth of acupuncture as it is actually
practised. The contributors share their observations with
remarkable honesty and clarity. Experienced practitioners are seen
facing the intractable nature of many conditions and wrestling with
subsequent dilemmas and challenges. By following through the
progress of each case, readers can see practitioners working
through the decision-making process and can draw out many crucial
learning points for themselves. Compiled with a rare understanding
of what it means to work as an acupuncturist, this extraordinary
book will inspire and guide all practitioners and students of
acupuncture working in the West.
