Reviews

"I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will be sharing it with students and colleagues. I found it to be easy to read and an effective paradigm shift in understanding the limitations of research and epistemologies of health and healing. Western and mainstream approaches to care fail to take into consideration some of the most important elements in understanding how and why people heal...and how and why they don't. I thoroughly appreciate the authors' patient and methodical approach to shifting readers' thinking and opening their minds to new ways of viewing the body's ability to heal. I cannot think of another book that takes this approach to educating clinicians and the faculty who teach them."
