This title offers a very sober and systematic approach to a wide range of alternative therapies, which can be used by nurses independently of other health care practitioners (i.e. they don't need a doctor's ok to go ahead and use). It is presented in a standardized chapter format - each therapy is defined, current research on topic is reviewed, uses and techniques are described, followed by precautions, and a list of questions for further research.

Designated a Doody's Core Title!

""...the editors have made wise choices in expanded content and new topics for this text. It is a must have book particularly for novices beginning their journey into CAM use and practice in nursing."" (4 Stars)--Doody's Book Review Service

As the consumer demand for and use of complementary therapies continues to increase, it is critical to have knowledge about complementary therapies for professional nursing practice: to provide your patients with information about therapies, to be informed about research and practice guidelines related to complementary therapies, to alert your patients to possible contraindications with traditional medicines, and to incorporate some of these therapies into your own self-care.

Now in its fifth edition, Complementary/Alternative Therapies in Nursing continues to provide the scientific basis for the use of therapies with an emphasis on evidence-based practice. A new chapter dedicated solely to research has been added to this edition, and the studies related to each therapy continue to be included in each chapter.

A uniform format used throughout the book gives easy access to information about each therapy. Each chapter contains:

A description of the therapy
Scientific basis for use of the therapy
Inclusion of one or two techniques that can be used to implement the therapy
Conditions and patient populations in which the therapy has been used
Suggestions for research

Precautions to be aware of when using a therapy are noted in the intervention section.
