Book Description
Pediatrics has long been recognized as an important branch of traditional Chinese medicine, and there are many specialized texts in Chinese devoted to this topic. In its first two editions (1986, 1991), Acupuncture in the Treatment of Children became the leading English-language textbook in this field. In this broadly expanded third edition, the authors explore a number of new topics and revisit many of the old ones with fresh perspective. In addition to the thirty subjects covered in earlier editions are sixteen new chapters which examine a wide variety of topics, from basic childhood patterns, puberty and the stages of development, immunizations, and learning difficulties to hayfever, hyperactivity and attention deficit disorder, autism, Down's syndrome, cerebral palsy and infantile paralysis. There is a new outline of patterns commonly seen in children, and an extensive survey of pediatric symptoms and disorders that are treatable with acupuncture. The focus of this third edition is squarely on the problems of treating children in the Western clinic. New patterns that are unique to the lifestyles of children in the West-and new wrinkles on old patterns-are presented candidly and with a refreshing lack of jargon. There are also many new case histories sprinkled throughout the text, bringing theory down to earth.

VERY valuable content,
By Mauricio Padilla (Monterrey NL MEXICO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Accupuncture in the Treatment of Children (Hardcover)
The author conveys his knowledge and experience superbly. In content, clarity and applicability, this book is a real winner. In this subspecialty (acupuncture for children) there a few quality publications, this is one of the best. The information is of practical value for both lay people and professionals. Parents, nurses, physicians and acupuncturists will greatly benefit from this one.

By James R. Pannozzi "DOM" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Accupuncture in the Treatment of Children (Hardcover)
Scott has a number of books out, they're all excellent and this one is one of the best.Very clear and direct exposition of child patterns, good mention of herbs and and well organized presentation. The book even suggests a technique of acupuncture for the little ones which will combine safety, ease of penetration and guidelines for stimulation. Ideal for a text book or for use in a practice. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful

Keep it Simple,
By Yael Ernst - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Accupuncture in the Treatment of Children (Hardcover)
The best thing about Julian Scott's teaching is that he keeps everything simple. This book follows that guideline, which makes a scary thought a bit less scary and a lot more realistic and possible.I have written a "book report" on my blog, a number of posts about the book as I was reading it.
