About this title

From Library Journal:

Bassman, a psychologist who claims to have benefited from alternative therapies, provides the reader with an wide-ranging introduction to the subject. Kinesiology, meditation and prayer, aromatherapy, flower-essence therapy, past-life therapy, and homeopathy are just a few of the approximately 35 alternative modalities she discusses, generally devoting a chapter to each. Bassman gives information about the origins and presumed mechanisms of each therapy, noting selected research and relevant resources; considerable anecdotal material is also provided. Although these unorthodox therapies have not been adequately studied from a scientific point of view, the book is nonetheless interesting and informative. Recommended for larger public and health sciences libraries with a liberal collection development policy.?Linda M.G. Katz, Allegheny Univ. of the Health Sciences Lib., Philadelphia
