By Mark D. Seem, PhD, LAc

The author proposes a method by which body workers and patients may clearly understand the energetic systems of the body mind and thus develop an individualized approach and treatment using acupuncture and meridian therapies. He shows how to recast and conceptualize physical, emotional, and psychological problems in terms of disrupted energy flow, so that both practitioner and patient can see, feel, and experience these disturbances. This allows for creative change. The book provides a brief but descriptive overview of biophysical phenomena and the healing process. The book is an important statement of approach by a notable proponent of the integration of humanism, psychology, and Oriental medicine.
