Sommario/riassunto

Discusses the need for establishing rules and standards to facilitate appropriate integration of conventional and complementary and alternative medical therapies. Focusing on the social, intellectual, and spiritual dimensions of integrative care, this work provides an examination of the shift to a more fluid, pluralistic health care environment.
