    Excellent for review
  

*by S***L on Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2013*

I studied Five Element acupuncture at the Traditional Acupuncture Institute in Maryland as well as the College of Traditional Acupuncture, UK with JR Worsley. I also studied at TSITCA in Stamford, CT. Some years ago, I gave up my acupuncture practice in order to be a full-time parent to a child with a disability. Now, after many years, I am studying to re-take my acupuncture board exams so that I can resume my practice. Although only a small portion of the exam covers Five Element Acupuncture, since this was my foundation, I decided to start here, and use this book for review.This is an extremely helpful book for two groups of readers. The first group would consist of practitioners who have never studied the Worsley tradition of acupuncture. Although Worsley is mentioned briefly and with gratitude at the beginning of this book, it is not made clear enough that the method described therein is definitely "Worsley School Acupuncture." Just as in ancient China, Japan, and Korea, different masters evolved their own "schools" of medicine, so J.R Worsley took the best of the ancient teachings and applied them brilliantly, sensitively, and wisely to the needs of the modern western world. While not giving Worsley's adequate credit appropriate from a student to a master, the book is an admirable introduction to his methodology.However, the most important feature of Worsley's method was-- again, in keeping with classical tradition-- the personal transmission from teacher to student. Whether it is gaining rapport, identifying "golden keys" in a patient's story, identifying the person's color, sound, odor, or emotion, or determining in what level their imbalance resides, none of this is possible to transmit through the medium of a book. That would be an absolute fraud. It would be to use this book as the "Cliff's Notes" of acupuncture. J.R. himself wrote several excellent books, but would be the first to acknowledge that these skills simply cannot be learned from a book. They are learned by seeing many, many patients with the guidance of a master practitioner, such as himself. It would be a travesty if a practitioner from a different tradition used this book to attempt to self-teach these skills. However, such a person might be inspired by reading this book to study this tradition of medicine further at one of the few schools that teach it. If so, that would be a wonderful result from this book.The second group consists of people like me who would use this book for review or reference. For me it is a reminder of the teachings that I received, almost like "class notes" but never, ever replacing the class itself.With all of that said, and giving due honor to J.R. Worsley who was an incredibly loving and gifted teacher and practitioner, others have made the point that J. R. doesn't "own" five element acupuncture, and that his students, and their students, have the right to take his teachings and elaborate on them, expand upon them, incorporate their own wisdom and experience.That is absolutely true; Chinese medicine has always evolved, and different practitioners and schools give different emphasis to different aspects, as well as making innovations of their own. This means that the authors do have the right to take J.R.'s teachings and incorporate their own experiences to arrive at a slightly different "version" of 5 Element acupuncture. However, it is clear to me that the vast majority of this book derived directly from J.R.'s thought and methodology. Perhaps the primary original contribution of the authors was a section on integrating 5 Element and 8 Principle acupuncture. Actually, I was almost disappointed to see that section, because it is almost a statement that 5 Element isn't "enough." But perhaps that section might make this text more accessible to practitioners from other traditions.All told, if one were to create a "textbook" of 5 element acupuncture, this book would be as close as one might come to achieving that. But, 5 element acupuncture should never, ever be taught from a textbook.

    A good introductory book to 5 element constitutional acupuncture
  

*by Y***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2020*

A very clear introduction on how to use Five Element Constitutional Acupuncture. It introduced various aspects of the five elements so that it is easier for practitioners to make diagnosis. It had patients sample there and you could peek on the reasoning behind each treatment session. If you’ve learnt proper pulse and tongue diagnosis from TCM, you will learn more from this book.
