The rapid growth of Complementary & Alternative Medicine (CAM) demands that the public, the medical world, social scientists, the media, & governments pay attention. People are questioning the limits of what modern medicine can accomplish & seeking additional ways to manage their health. While many are enthusiastically adopting complementary & alternative forms of medicine, others are more sceptical. Physicians' attitudes are in transition, & governments are pondering where this increasingly important phenomenon fits into the health care system. The challenge is to keep pace with the changing ways that people view health & illness, take responsibility for themselves, & incorporate CAM into their health care. This text brings together for the first time a wide range of leading North American & European social scientists to identify who uses CAM, why they use it, & how they find out about it. Presenting research from psychology, sociology, anthropology & public health, they alert us to the current context of CAM use & provide new models & techniques for understanding its future place in health care. ...

The growth of complementary medicine over the past decade has been accompanied by calls for greater regulation. To date, discussions on regulation have confined themselves to the parameters set by orthodox medicine, & a result, critical issues which need to be more publicly aired have been overlooked. The first book to address this increasingly important topic, Complementary Medicine & the Law is a timely response to this need. The authors explore the way in which the law presently affects the practice of complementary medicine. At the heart of the book is a challenging of the notion that the legal & regulatory mechanisms which govern orthodox medicine form an appropriate model for the regulation of most complementary therapies. The patient-centred, holistic approach central to the theory & practice of many complementary therapies presents a unique problem for the law: the highly individualised, more intuitive, whole-person approach of complementary medicine is not amenable to the quantification & certainty required by the law. The authors argue that only by implementing a more dynamic form of ethics-directed regulation can the consumer be protected without sacrificing the unique contribution that complementary medicine has to make. ...
