Najnowsza książka Giovanni'ego Macioci - Diagnosis in Chinese Medicine - wprowadza w świat diagnozy w Tradycyjnej Medycynie Chińskiej. Uznana przez znawców za najbardziej kompletny anglojęzyczny podręcznik metod diagnostycznych opracowanych i stosowanych w Tradycyjnej Medycyny Chińskiej. Podzielona została na pięć wielkich działów tematycznych. W czterech pierwszych porusza zagadnienia diagnozy medycznej przez obserwację, indagację, dotyk oraz słuchanie i wąchanie. W piątej - najobszerniejszej - omawia szczegółowo objawy chorobowe, nawet najbardziej subtelne i trudno uchwytne, z jakimi może zetknąć się współczesny praktyk Tradycyjnej Medycyny Chińskiej.
Autor kładzie wyraźny nacisk na praktyczne aspekty prezentowanej wiedzy. Jak sam mówi: Im dłużej praktykuję, tym bardziej doceniam znaczenie diagnozy w Tradycyjnej Medycynie Chińskiej w szczególności, a w medycynie w ogóle. W istocie, można stwierdzić, że wartość Tradycyjnej Medycyny Chińskiej leży nie w jej teoriach (...), lecz właśnie w diagnozie, samej w sobie.
Dzieło monumentalne, o niezwykłej sile przekazu i nieocenionej wartości poznawczej i dydaktycznej. Zachwyca ogromem i wnikliwością przedstawionych wiadomości. Na przeszło tysiącu stron Diagnosis in Chinese Medicine, Giovanni Maciocia ukazuje nie mającą sobie równych pełnię możliwości klasycznej chińskiej diagnozy medycznej. Książka ze wszech miar warta nabycia i dogłębnej lektury przez każdego pasjonata Tradycyjnej Medycyny Chińskiej.
Gorąco polecamy.
