Ethnomed (see older story) recently has published the Handbook of Ethnotherapies: "In the Handbook of Ethnotherapies we find various healing methods. Healers and shamans from distant countries lead us back into our own European past and carry us off geographically into other, non-European countries. We discover that natural, alternative healing methods, that developed through the past decades, are alive. And we also discover that other cultures have entirely different diagnoses and healing methods and different definitions of disease and health, than we do." [p. 17]
