That's my impression too. I find it encouraging that a diversity of doctorate possibilities is emerging in the field. In addition to the ACCAOM clinical standard and the AUCM (and possibly NESA) flavors, I think the group that is attempting an alternative A/OM accreditation org (forgetting it's name, but it's the one led by Ted Priebe) has in mind yet another form of doctorate. And one of Paul Unschuld's recommendations for the field is to cultivate a plurality of modalities of study. His particular slant is nurturing various academic flavors of study in addition to his historical focus, as seen in the ethnographic / anthropological dissertations/ books by Kim Taylor, Volker Scheid and Elizabeth Hsu.
