Classical Chinese medicine: theory, methodology and therapy in its philosophical framework

This volume completes a trilogy on the philosophy of medicine, Western and Chinese.

Its immediate prequel sets out in general outline the philosophical and methodological core of Classical Chinese Medicine (CCM); this volume fleshes out that 'skeleton' by examining in detail its peculiar concepts and characteristics, such as Getihua/Personalised Medicine, Preventive Medicine, Tianren-xiangying (macro-micro-cosmic wholism), Zhéng-Fang Wholism (wholism at the level of diagnosis and treatment), and Mind-Body Wholism (the person as primitive concept).
