This tome is definitely for the in-depth holistic care giver.
Every aspect of care is covered in a complete and organized manner. This includes the very over looked self-care subject.If you are seeking the 'Bible' in holistic work, search no further. I can not imagine another source as complete as this one. A big thumbs up.

I bought this book because I admire the author's wonderful biography of Florence Nightingale. This is an essential reference for all nurses who want to be compassionate and effective care givers and who would like to be conversant with holistic medicine. We have so many patients who ask about that now that we owe it to them to be properly informed.
