 Treating persons as a whole, April 26, 2016
By Hemp

Very exhaustive overview of the chinese psichology according to the five elements. The author extrapolates the generation cicle to everything from the seasons of the year to the human behaviour and the stages of life. It even contains psichological treatment guidelines based in the control cicle.
The contents mirrors my previous knowing about the subject and adds even more layers based in the author's experience wich is obviously the reason to write any book. The pages are rich in poems and quotes wich really fits and expands the meanings of what is being discussed.
There are some (actually very little) esoteric touches and the Seinfeld thing seemed out of place for me, but in general the text is very down to earth and comprehensive.
Very good book for acupuncturists who wants to treat not just symptoms, but persons as a whole.

 An acupuncture student's perspective, November 28, 2008
By Lisa W.

As an acupuncture student, this was the required textbook for my Five Elements class. I was really looking forward to reading the book, but was disappointed. If you're a student and debating whether to buy this book, in my opinion, it's not worth it. This was evidenced by the large number of postings on the school bulletin board after the class of used copies for sale.
The writing style tended to meander around without exactly saying anything. There were a lot of quotes from song lyrics circa 1960 and 1970. Personally, I didn't think the Beatles were singing about the Five Elements.
That said, if you're really into Five Element acupuncture, it's a worthwhile book to have. There are some good sections on the Officials as well as descriptions of the different elements. However, if Five Element Acupuncture isn't your thing, this book won't convince you that it is.

Life's Answers, September 24, 2008

One of the greatest books I've ever read. This book opened my eyes to my beliefs on life in a way that I never before could seem to assemble. I've met Gary Dolowich and consider him to be the type of physician whose path all doctors should follow.

This book gives you a generalization of 5 Element Acupuncture. Go with something better if you want information more than the bare minimum.

By Daniel M. Netto

This book is of great aid in the best understanding of the human soul and this book us allows to establish a parallel one between the junguian psychology and the acupuncture. This book in the display although inside of each fundamental feeling there are different causes for the same and that such causes are related to the five movements or elements of the traditional chinese medicine (TCM). It is an indispensable reading to every psychology student, acupuncture and TCM. Besides all of the people that work with disturbances compartamentais and psychological they should read this book, besides veterinary doctors! It is a great book writing in way clear, simple and that it will help us to act better in the psychological field as therapists.
