anyone familiar with book: Transforming Emotions?

[Guest guest]

I have it and like it. It's definitely ethnographic along the lines of

Elizabeth Hsu. Not a whole lot of new material for a working

acupuncturist although she does give alot of terminology in Chinese

characters and pinyin.

I think the text is very important, as it clearly spells out how

Chinese medicine and Chinese culture views shen/spirit and its

relationship to the body, the relationship of emotions to physical

health, and conditions such as zang zao/visceral agitation, kuang dian/

mania and withdrawal, etc. If one doesn't have a clear understanding

of how Chinese medicine treats jing shen bing/essence spirit

disorders, we end up misinterpreting how to view treatment of these

conditions. And there certainly is enough misinterpretation around in

Western texts on the subject.

Dear friends,

 

Is anyone familiar with the book, " Transforming Emotions With Chinese

Medicine: An Ethnographic Account from Contemporary China " by Yan hua zhang,

published in 2007. I recall seeing it in discussions, but couldn't find when,

and it was recently brought to my attention.

 

Thank,

 

Yehuda

Thanks Z'ev and Doug,

 

It one of a couple of real good deals that I happened to find on EBay stores,

and referred through Campusi.com. I also picked up Julian Scott's book on on

acupuncture and vision, both from the same seller and brand new.
