 Between
Heaven and Earth: A Guide to Chinese Medicine
Harriet Beinfield &
Efrem Korngold
Random House Inc.; August 1992
ISBN: 0345379748
Format: Paperback, 431pp
For anyone
seriously interested in learning about Chinese medicine, Beinfield
and Korngold provide a comprehensive, though technical, look
at it. The book is divided into three parts: theory; the psychology
of Chinese medicine and therapy; and such treatment methods
as acupuncture, herbs and diet. Licensed acupuncturists, Beinfield
and Korngold stress that the models of Eastern and Western
medicine are significantly different. Consequently, so are
methods, emphases and outcomes. Chinese medicine, they claim,
readjusts the body's balance and enhances self-healing--while
Western medicine, in contrast, stresses suppressing and eliminating
pathological phenomena, and crisis-intervention. The authors
provide an extensive, cross-referenced compendium of herb
names, as well as information on using Chinese patent medicines
and formulae for general health problems.
