Practical Diagnosis in Traditional Chinese Medicine

Description: By Tie-Tao Deng, Professor, Guangzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine College, Guangzhou, China. 560 pages, 253mm x 197mm Hardback Churchill Livingstone, May 1999 ISBN-13: 978-0-443-04582-0 ISBN-10: 0-443-04582-8 Basic Information: For the Student or Practitioner considering a textbook on Diagnostics in Chinese Medicine the choice is often between, on the one hand, a text that ruminates and dilates at length, to give the reader ample opportunity to mull over the nuances with words, and, on the other hand, a text which provides full depth of treatment as well as concision. “Practical Diagnosis in Traditional Chinese Medicine” more than adequately fulfils the latter choice. Another dimension of choice is between, on the one hand, a text which satisfies the needs of those who specialise in Acupuncture as only or primary therapy, and, on the other hand, those who practise not only Acupuncture but who major in Chinese Herbal Medicine where the demands of diagnosis are much more exacting and crucial and for whom a firm grasp of, for example, External Disease Theory and Diagnosis is indispensible, even when treating diseases which are not primarily external. Again this text provides the latter perspective with solid and unadulterated meat with which to hone diagnostic acumen. This meticulous translation offers, for the first time in English, an authoritative and detailed compilation of the principles and practice of TCM diagnostic methods and approaches. This translation has been carefully prepared and polished by translators in both China and the West, and has been edited thoroughly to maximize its accessibility by Western practitioners.
