5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent source of diagnostic & therapeutic tools, March 15, 1998

By A Customer

This book successfully combines the classic uses of the acupunture points with modern concerns of emotional distress, modern-life trauma and pains. Dr Ross, like a true master, shares his knowledge and experience in the art of Traditional Chinese Medicine. I am eager for this book to be available for purchase. It will be a well-used and welcome addition to my practice library. No matter where I open the book, I am wide-eyed with wonder at the wealth of information at my fingertips. Most acupuncture books repeat the same info over and over - this book is a true innovation.

5.0 out of 5 stars great book, July 21, 2001

By	"jreyes2248" (San Antonio, TX United States) - See all my reviews

This is a great book. It supplements other great authors, such as Joseph Helms M.D. There are so many styles of acupuncture, this is another well outlined method. There are no descriptions for physical technique of needle placement or manipulation, but multiple point selections. This is a modern book for an ancient medicine. Mr Ross very skillfully sorts out what you need and do not need form the ancient material and he eliminates sources that are contradictory.

I use this book frequently in my practice. It is well organized and easy to use. The combinations are effective for a myriad of dysfunctions and dysfunctional patterns.
