Mary Ruggie's Wonderful Book

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago

This book is an important companion piece to the current literature on safety and efficacy of complementary medicine. Mary Ruggie, a sociologist who has written extensively on comparative health systems, tackles the growing movement within hospitals to create centers for 'integrative care,' bringing together conventional and complementary medicine. She examines the research agenda driving these centers, as well as their successes and failures. I highly recommend this book to those interested in the field.
