Acupuncture in the Treatment of Anxiety

Traditional Chinese Medicine and Neuroscience

This book is a scientifically rigorous disquisition into all the theoretical and practical aspects of treating anxiety disorders with acupuncture, following the guidelines of evidence-based medicine. Moving backwards and forwards between East and West, in a true play of mirrors, neuroscience and Traditional Chinese Medicine reflect and study each other. The result may seen surprising.

New and old retain all their fascination but each brings something new to the other. If we place all the small pieces in the right order, what slowly emerges is a splendid mosaic, an overarching view that cannot be swayed under this or that discovery, and will always have the true ring of authenticity. It is the Whole that contains the Particular.
