Illuminating the considerations at play in determining courses of treatment in acupuncture, this honest depiction of nine accounts of unique cases shows how changes can happen, how the practitioner makes choices in the moment and why the patient's collaboration and commitment are vital.

Recenzii
I found these stories intriguing. They were helpful to me as a patient because they illustrated how acupuncture works. Not so much by an explanation of mechanisms, but through revealing how possibilities for health and transformation can emerge from attentive and committed collaboration between practitioner and patient.
Unique and thought-provoking. If you're a practitioner of any acupuncture style (or indeed of any therapy of either body or mind) I defy you to read this book and not grow therapeutically from doing so. John's patient-stories (beautifully told and brimming with authenticity) offer us something truly special.
Alongside the skill and craft of acupuncture treatment, John Hamwee has honed his intuition and instinct to develop his art of following the detective clues of acupuncture diagnosis.
