Diagnosis in Chinese Medicine

This is the culmination of Giovanni Maciocia’s 30-year clinical experience in his busy clinic using both acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. As Giovanni highlights in the introduction to the book, the greatest strength of Chinese medicine does not lie in its theories but in the placing of the patient at the centre of the clinical encounter. Diagnosis is at the heart of this encounter. Giovanni has dedicated his professional life to transmitting his clinical skills and to preserving the most subtle (and difficult) aspects of the diagnostic process in Chinese medicine, such as tongue and pulse diagnosis.
