Auricular Acupuncture & Addiction provides a comprehensive guide to the use of ear acupuncture for the treatment of substance abuse. Rather than focus on the procedural details, it concentrates on the neurological basis of addictive behaviour and its treatment. The treatment itself is straightforward to administer, what is more important is a deep understanding of the addicted patient. It provides a thorough grounding in the theory of Chinese medicine and integrates Chinese medical theory with modern biomedical concepts.
