Complementary & Alternative Therapies: An Implementation Guide to Integrative Health Care

by Doris Milton PhD RN, Samuel Benjamin

Alternative and complementary therapies--including acupuncture, homeopathy, herbal medicine, osteopathy, massage therapy, chiropractic, biofeedback, and others--continue to gain popularity. A number of these therapies have been recognized by physicians, nurses and other mainstream health care providers as providing a positive impact on the health of their patients. Integrating these therapies and their practitioners into a traditional clinical environment can be a challenge for health care leaders who are unsure how to begin. Complementary and Alternative Therapies offers realistic analysis, practical information, and strategies that administrators, managers, and project directors can use throughout all phases of an integrative health care effort.
