This review is from: Tibetan Buddhist Medicine Psychiatry P (Paperback)
I am a Native American and I have found many spiritual similarities between my own Hidatsa-Mandan traditions and the Tibetan tradition. The section on causes of Psychiatric disorders is the most interesting and relevant section in my opinion. If nothing else, this book will open the hard nosed "scientific" community's eyes. The mere survival of its people and traditions is a testament to the validity of the views of Tibetan culture.

Indispensable book for everyone interested in Tibetan Medici,
By Joseph Chinnock, Founder of Tibetan Formulas (Westlake, OH) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tibetan Buddhist Medicine Psychiatry P (Paperback)
True story of psychiatric nurse, Terry Clifford,who left her job working in a NYC psychiatric hospital to travel to Tibet, Nepal and Northern India to research traditional Tibetan medical methods of working with mental illness.The traditional Tibetan doctors really opened up due to Ms. Clifford's sincerity, knowledge of physchiatric illness, and amiable personality. They translated esoteric Tibetan medical concepts, related expereinces from their medical practices and even gave her traditional Tibetan herbal formulas for pyschiatric illnesses. The author's description and explanation of "demons" in Tibetan Medicine, including one that causes the patient to believe that their religion is the one and only true religion, shows a great deal of the insight,humour and intelligence that permeates the entire book. Tragically, Ms. Clifford died shortly after this book was published and her work was cut short. Everyone working with traditional Tibetan medicine owes a debt to Ms. Clifford's groundbreaking work.
