From Library Journal
The American Medical Association can't be expected to be entirely objective about a book on alternative health methods. Even so, this book is of limited usefulness. After a brief overview of quakery, there are equally brief descriptions of alternative cures plus annotations of both critical and proponent literature. However, few proponent works are cited. Although some of the methods listed are indeed useless--e.g., psychic surgery, firewalking--many, like therapeutic touch, do help people feel better. This book would be more useful for those writing undergraduate term papers than for consumers who need more in-depth and objective information.
