- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5its a very competent summary introduction with decent coveragebut kaptchuk falls short in terms of his ideological dualism and misunderstanding of chinese intellectual history; taken together these errors border on orientalismnamely he insists on a separation bw religious belief and scientific knowledge, when such a separation has never held in chinese medicine or chinese culture broadlyand he constantly confuses confucian values for broadly/generally chinese values. confucianism has ofc been the hegemonic philosophy in china for 2 millenia, but this does not excuse such an error, especially when non-confucan taoists were instrumental pioneers in developing many of the core theoretical components of chinese medicine
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Kaptchuk writes a fascinating introduction to Chinese medicine. More than just a clinical analysis of acupuncture and herbal treatment, Kaptchuk describes the entirely different, more holistic, worldview of a Chinese physician.
As a patient who has received some relief for chronic migraine through herbal and acupuncture treatment, this book was totally intriguing. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I read this for a class on Chinese medicine. It's very good. From someone from NO background in anything like this, it was easy to understand. I enjoyed learning about Chinese medicine, it's history, tools and methods. While I don't know if I believe it all, this book gave me a solid foundation for further exploration in this subject. I would highly recommend to anyone interested in Chinese medicine, either for personal information or use.
