This review is from: Handbook of TCM Patterns & Treatments (Paperback)
The book description is misleading:
"It includes many of the complicated patterns other English language TCM books leave out but which Western patients typically present. You'll also learn Bob Flaw's personal insights on the discrimination of patterns and their treatment based on his more than 20 years of clinical experience and research." Based on this description, I was expecting to see many patterns not discussed in the Foundations textbook as well as commentary from a Western viewpoint. Instead, I found that most of the patterns in the book were the standard zang fu patterns listed in a similar format as the Foundations book, only described more superfluously. In my opinion, there was not enough added value to justify purchasing this book. I went through the book looking for "Bob Flaw's personal insights" and this amounted to a few pages at the back of the book and a sentence every 5 patterns saying something like, "this pattern is not commonly seen" for something that you already know is not commonly seen. |
