Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Galland, a pioneer in integrated medicine and a specialist in treating undiagnosed or difficult-to-treat illnesses, describes in detail a new model for disease causation known as "Patient-Centered Diagnosis," which identifies "mediators, triggers and antecedents of disease in individual patients." Using case histories and lots of footnotes, he contrasts it with other models of disease, going into great detail about "the anatomy of an illness." Part of the model is called "The Four Pillars of Healing," which includes having a relationship with your health provider, eating a balanced diet, maintaining environmental hygiene, and eliminating toxins from your body. There are no new ideas here, although Galland does make a bit much of the relationship between health and cleanliness. He suggests what seem to be extreme measures such as keeping pets out of the bedroom. Although Galland wrote this book for the lay reader, it would probably be more useful for nursing, social work, or other students studying health psychology. An optional purchase for most alternative medicine collections.?Natalie Kupferberg, Ferris State Univ. Lib., Big Rapids, Mich.

From Booklist
Galland's philosophy is not new. The nineteenth century knew it as "eclectic medicine." Perhaps the most interesting part of his book, then, is the account of how Galland's experiences gradually led him to realize the need for his present, "integrated" approach to his profession. Disharmony between the individual patient and the environment, he asserts, is the basic health problem nowadays. But medical science has difficulty with the concept of individuality, so Galland has developed a patient-centered diagnostic in which the solution of a particular problem demands not the identification of a disease but the uncovering of relationships between the patient and feelings of illness and aloneness. Indeed, his first healing pillar is concern with relationships. The second deals with diaitahabitual activities that include nutrition, exercise, sleep, and relaxation. The third inculcates environmental hygiene, and the fourth requires detoxifying the body. William Beatty
