It is organized by pharmacologic an d non-pharmacologic therapies, with concise explanations of the modality, indications, side effects, precautions, indications, contraindications, and key words to remember.

A review section presents a playful series of crossword puzzles and other word exercises that will help readers assess and firm up their knowledge about each therapy.

This is an excellent book for anyone wanting an introduction to CAM.
