Reviews

It provides an evidence-based foundation for complementary therapists working in cancer care settings. International in its scope, the book provides essential information about the ethical and professional context in which therapists can practise and vital facts regarding medical treatment and side effects...Cancer care is a special area and is not for every therapist. However, Ann and Peter together with their collaborators, have put together a text that I believe is of value to every therapist and I commend it to you.
