Synopsis

A seminal text exploring the means by which the herbal practitioner can seek to appreciate the individual patient's predicament.

Written for both herbal medicine students and practitioners, The Consultation in Phytotherapy takes a radical approach, challenging readers to reflect on the nature, scope and methods of the consultation in herbal practice.

Author Peter Conway asserts that the effective consultation represents a therapeutic act in and of itself, and proposes strategies for maximising and realising this therapeutic potential.

His book provides both a complement to, and a critique of, mainstream texts on clinical diagnosis and case management.

It contrasts the herbal consultation with that occurring in conventional medicine and offers rationales, arguments and tools aimed at developing an enhanced capacity to achieve profound results in the herbal clinical encounter.
