Description

This book analyses the key issues and questions often asked, and the controversies debated, in complementary medicine research, and offers clear guidance written by world experts in this field. - By Lewith, Jones and Walach. (2002) 376pp

There is considerable and increasing interest in research related specifically to complementary therapies, to establish a base of research results, which will support practice. However, not all therapies can be treated the same way, either from the same perspective of what health and treatment are, or examined solely through randomised controlled trials.

· Describes and analyses general research issues which would have a specific significance in complementary therapy (CT) research

· Suggests both general and specific factors which need to be considered in assessing or planning CT research

· Pinpoints aspects of research which are different in orthodox medical research and CT research

· Reviews briefly the types of research carried out in specific complementary therapies and analyses issues which arise

· Suggests ways in which future research should be modelled and which are the key issues to address

This book will be invaluable for all students and practitioners who need to become familiar with or are working in research in any complementary therapy.
