REVIEWS

"Young and Koopsen have caught the essence of the diversity of the many cultural approaches to health and healing. As a physician trained in the Western Tradition of medicine, this book offered to me a more perceptive approach to the understanding of my patient's views of their own health. I learned for the first time the difference between "healing" and "curing". Although this outstanding book is primarily a teaching text, I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the unique perspective that this book offers." R. O'Neil M.D.

"Health and healing are so closely related, yet with so many differences. This book has a well rounded view of both. It is rare to find such educated and diverse views brought together in a symphony of sense as in this book."  Llana 

"This book is the primary text for a course in Spirituality and Healing at the Univ. of Maine. So far it looks very good. Covers a lot of material but is not too hard reading." Neil T. Buffett  

"This book is excellent. It can be used as a reference text for your class, place of employment or simply own it for your own education and peace of mind. It is a must read for anyone who has had or has an ill relative or companion or works in a healthcare related field. Get this book!... and begin your journey to better health." Richard Jr. MD, FAAP

REVIEWS

"I am a RN and working for my certificate in Holistic Health Care. This educational "textbook" is a perfect beginning to cover all areas, thoughts, ideas, facts, and studies in the Holistic Health Care field, and gives more than the basic education required. This book just does not cover the fundamentals, but will carry the information for the nurse to use in life, and in the lives of others she/he cares for either professionally or personally (sic). This book of information will most likely carry the RN looking to further herself into a speciality in the holistic field. Very highly recommended." Donna A.

"I received the book in a timely manner and it was in very good shape! It was worth what I paid for it for sure." Lauren W.
