Kiiko Matsumoto's new book with David Euler is a great book. The name of

the book is Kiiko Matsumoto's Clinical Strategies: In the Spirit of Master

Nagano.

Hi Hugo,

 

There are lots of interesting ideas in this book oriented toward

palpation techniques as they relate to the Hara and other channels in

the body, e.g. extraordinary vessels. I would highly recommend the

book if you are interested in perspectives that are not found in the

standard TCM texts. There is a great chapter on " Source Theory " ,

mostly from CM classics. For me, it is a breath of fresh air - though

 

I still walk away from the book feeling a bit uncomfortable with the

concept of diagnosis. Who is really be diagnosed during the process of

" diagnosis " - the client/patient or the doctor? :-) I find that

diagnoses are as revealing about one as they are about the other. I

think this question, which references all versions of doctor/patient

relationships needs to be addressed more - but this may happen only in

the distant future. For now, this is a very interesting book from the

perspective of viewing health and practice in a different light -

which I think is really of great value, especially if one has only

been exposed to the TCM viewpoint.

 

Regards,

Rich
