Archetypal Acupuncture: Healing With The Five Elements

Rating:
Summary: Fascinating exploration of archetypes and acupuncture
Review: This book opened my eyes to a new synthesis of two of my favorite topics: archetypal psychology, specifically Jungian-oriented psychology, and acupuncture, which I've enjoyed as a healing modality for the past twenty-five years.

Dr. Dolowich is a medical doctor who has been a practitioner of Chinese Five Element acupuncture and a student of archetypal psychology for many years. In this book, he shares many insights gained from using acupuncture to work with clients on medical and psychological issues.

I found the material fascinating, the presentation lucid, and the book itself beautiful and easy to read. From "Navigating the Stages of Life'" to Resolving Emotional Imbalances" Dolowich provides information grounded in actual patient experiences and enriched by an inquiring mind. This book will be valuable reading to students, healthcare professionals, and anyone interested in a new perspective on acupuncture and healing.
