KNOW ANTHROPOSOPHICAL MEDICINE

Dettagli

Anthroposophic medicine is an integrated medical system that combines conventional medical procedures with spiritual understanding of the individual and nature. Among its characteristics it is important to underline the attention paid to the patient and his history and the socio-therapeutic commitment of this approach. In this book Michaela Glöckler describes the current state of diffusion of this type of therapy and its diagnostic and therapeutic spectrum. It also intends to raise the reader's awareness of the social dimension of illness and health, addresses the theme of destiny and illustrates what individuals can do for their own health and that of their peers. In a period of heated debates around the topic of medical practice, the author offers a point of view of great interest by supporting the centrality of the pluralism of the scientific method and the freedom of therapy, indispensable conditions for the further development of the healthcare system and a modern understanding of the disease itself.
