If you are a Western student of TCM you are familiar with the difficulties that are often encountered when applying pattern identification in practice. Often this is because most current English language texts lack the depth of Chinese teaching, and because lectture-like presentations of diagnostic skills do not make it easy to grasp clear distinctions. In addition to a review of the main concepts and principles of diagnosis, the text presents a whole-person diagnostic routine including general inspection, systematic inspection, and tongue inspection; the traditional approach to listening and smelling; full details of interrogation; and details of pulse examination and palpation. It further presents pattern identification according to eight principle patterns, pathogetic factors, qi and blood patterns, internal organ patterns, six channel patterns, wei, qi, ying, and blood patterns, and three burner patterns. It concludes with a pattern diagnosis review if fourteen case studies. - By Ping Chen (2004) 291 pages
