Title: Healing at the Borderland of Medicine and Religion (Studies in Social Medicine)
First published: August 30, 2006
Description: "One of the transformations facing health care in the twenty-first century is the safe, effective, and appropriate integration of conventional (or biomedical) care with complementary and alternative medical (CAM) therapies, such as acupuncture, chiropractic, massage therapy, herbal medicine, and spiritual healing. In Healing at the Borderland of Medicine and Religion, Michael H. Cohen discusses the need for rules and standards to facilitate appropriate integration of conventional and CAM therapies."--Jacket.
