  • Diagnosis in Chinese Medicine

    A Comprehensive Guide
    • 1 Edición
    • Giovanni Maciocia
    • Inglés
    This major, new book is a complete, easily accessed and highly illustrated guide to diagnosis in Chinese Medicine. Emphasis is placed on "real world" issues and symptoms, and the text focuses on clear interpretations of signs and symptoms - the practice beyond the theory. Since Chinese medicine diagnosis relies on a subjective appraisal of the patient's symptoms and signs - which form a pattern - many factors beyond traditional Western symptoms are taken into consideration e.g. a patient's voice, the absence of thirst, feeling hot or cold, the patient's smell, tone of voice, glitter of eyes. Thus, Chinese diagnosis is based on a subtle appraisal of a patient's disharmony, which may not be a "disease" at all, and as such requires careful interpretation of a range of nuances. This book will help lead students and practitioners through basic on to sophisticated levels of diagnostic interpretation

  • Knowledge for Contemporary Nursing Practice

    • 1 Edición
    • Patricia Cronin + 1 más
    • Inglés
    The overall aim of Knowledge for Contemporary Nursing Practice is to facilitate the exploration and understanding of theoretical and professional issues that have relevance for contemporary nursing practice. Many nurses believe that nursing theory and professional issues are something they only need to know about in order to complete nursing courses and that they have little relevance for their everyday practice. This book challenges this notion and relates how the practice of nursing is not an isolated endeavour, but happens in a socio-political world whose influences are pervasive. It locates the theoretical basis of nursing and explores the professional issues that challenge nurses in contemporary practice. Some of the questions that have been explored include:· What has philosophy and knowledge got to do with nursing practice?· What is the relationship between theory, research and practice?· How do nurses make decisions in clinical practice?· What relevance does reflection have for practice?· What does being accountable mean for practising nurses?Although there are several UK texts that focus on nursing theories and models or professional issues none encompass the relationship between the two areas. Unlike some texts, which merely present these issues theoretically, this book is unique in its focus on their meaning and application to practice.

    This book provides an in-depth guide to how shiatsu can form part of modern maternity care. Based on traditional Chinese and Japanese approaches to health, shiatsu can be used to alleviate many of the chronic symptoms of pregnancy such as backache, insomnia and morning sickness. It can also help during labour and birth, as well as relieve postnatal problems such as heavy postpartum bleeding or difficulties with lactation. A shiatsu treatment simply encourages the body to balance its own natural energy by gentle stimulation of its energy pathways, the meridians - the same pathways used in acupuncture. The age-old midwifery skills of touching and stroking are an intrinsic part of nurturing and cherishing - the essence of 'being with woman'. Shiatsu takes this simple healing technique one stage further. You will find tips on how to use core midwifery skills of touch, gentle pressure and massage in a more systematic and focused way. The authors also discuss the actions necessary to establish its use in a maternity unit, including training and professional issues.Suzanne Yates is the leading shiatsu teacher world-wide to have made maternity work her main focus. She has been working with midwives and pregnant women for the last 13 years and developed a course of applied shiatsu for midwives that fulfils NMC requirements for training. Tricia Anderson, midwife lecturer and supervisor and past editor of Practising Midwife, has collaborated with her to ensure the content is appropriate to midwives' Code of Practice.
