Complementary and Alternative Medicine for Older Adults: Holistic Approaches to Healthy Aging
"Complementary/Alternative Therapies in Nursing, Fifth Edition, guides nurses in the art and science of holistic nursing and healing. It builds upon and extends previous editions with the essential philosophical knowledge, self as healer, and current evidence-based practices. The book's six parts -- foundations for practice, mind-body-therapies, energy and biofield therapies, manipulative and body-based therapies, biologically based therapies, and perspectives on future research and practice -- assist nurses with a clear way to organize their knowledge and how to educate patients about complementary and alternative therapies. It is crucial that nurses continue to become more informed about complementary and alternative therapies so they may safely and appropriately become integrated into current nursing practice, education, and research."Barbara Dossey, PhD, RN, AHN-BC, FAAN Director, Holistic Nursing Consultants Santa Fe, New MexicoAuthor, Florence Nightingale: Mystic, Visionary, Healer Co-Author, Holistic Nursing: A Handbook for Practice  & Florence Nightingale Today: Healing, Leadership, Global Action
