Excellent reference

This is an excellent reference to acupressure theory, with complete descriptions of the strange flows and the 12 organ meridians, their functions and interactions. Point locations and descriptions are very good, and the book contains additional information on Source, Luo, and Shu points. Additionally, there are wonderful articles on client communication, Eriksonian hypnotherapy, and Reichian segmental theory that are integrated into Jin Shin Do (R). Highly recommended.

Nice book, different approach

Good section on theory and very good coveage of specific ailments. I also liked the combining of energy and psychology. Better than most books I have read on the subject. The suggestions I have are -a better index (benefits of points not listed) -more info on preventatives
