Description
A very sober and systematic approach to a wide range of alternative therapies, which can be used by nurses independently of other health care practitioners (i.e. they don't need a doctor's ok to go ahead and use). Standardized chapter format -- each therapy is defined, current research on topic is reviewed, uses and techniques are described, followed by precautions and a list of questions for further research.
