Overview

There is a dividing line between the science-based med. of the West and the more holistic, people-oriented traditions of the East. This book examines the idea of integration, looking at the diverse traditions of healing all over the world, tracing their common roots, and showing how Eastern traditions and Western science are coming together again to the benefit of humanity. Discusses how therapeutic practices changed and developed over time, and the type of role that the healer fulfilled in other cultures and in times gone by. Describes the evolution from the quasi-religious rituals of the tribal shaman to today's high-tech computer-based diagnostic techniques. Numerous color and B&W photos and drawings.
