Alternative Medicine in Britain

This book draws together both previously published and original commissioned work relevant to social scientists on the past, present, and future of alternative medicine in Britain, covering areas such as acupuncture, homeopathy, osteopathy, and spiritual healing. Special reference is made to the professionalization of medicine, which is seen as having a crucial influence on the conceptual boundaries and destiny of alternative medicine in British society.Saks, Mike is the author of 'Alternative Medicine in Britain', published 1991 under ISBN 9780198272786 and ISBN 0198272782.
