Publisher Description: Auricular Acupuncture & Addiction provides a comprehensive guide to the use of ear acupuncture for the treatment of substance abuse. Rather than focus on the procedural details, it concentrates on the neurological basis of addictive behaviour and its treatment. The treatment itself is straightforward to administer, what is more important is a deep understanding of the addicted patient. It provides a thorough grounding in the theory of Chinese medicine and integrates Chinese medical theory with modern biomedical concepts.
Auricular Acupuncture & Addiction will be important for all students and practitioners working in the addiction field. It will be of particular value to those with an interest in the use of acupuncture as an adjunctive tool in the treatment of addiction. |
