HEALING AT THE BORDERLAND OF MEDICINE AND RELIGION

Book ID/图书代码： 13014007B17187

English Summary/英文概要： One of the transformations facing health care in the twenty-first century is the safe, effective, and appropriate integration of conventional, or biomedical, care with complementary and alternative medical (CAM) therapies, such as acupuncture, chiropractic, massage therapy, herbal medicine, and spiritual healing. In "Healing at the Borderland of Medicine and Religion", Michael H. Cohen discusses the need for establishing rules and standards to facilitate appropriate integration of conventional and CAM therapies. The kind of integrated health care many patients seek dwells in a borderland between the physical and the spiritual, between the quantifiable and the immeasurable, Cohen observes. But this mix of care fails to present clear rules for clinicians regarding which therapies to recommend, accept, or discourage, and how to discuss patient requests regarding inclusion of such therapies. Focusing on the social, intellectual, and spiritual dimensions of integrative care and grounding his analysis in the attendant legal, regulatory, and institutional changes, Cohen provides a multidisciplinary examination of the shift to a more fluid, pluralistic health care environment.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 二十一世纪医疗保健所面临的变革之一就是要将传统的生物医疗保健与中西方补充替代疗法（CAM疗法）安全有效且恰当的整合。CAM疗法包括针灸、整脊、推拿疗法、中药疗法及精神疗法。在《医学与宗教携手治愈》这本书中，迈克尔.H.科恩谈论了制定规则和标准的需要，以促进传统疗法与CAM疗法适当整合。

科恩注意到，许多患者寻求的综合保健是那种身体上和精神上的保健，而且这种保健方法既要可以达到具体的量化，同时其效果又是无法精确估量的。但这种混合的保健方法不能为医师们提供具体的准则，去推荐患者们接受或是停止某种疗法。由于多种疗法的混合使用，医师们也无法考虑患者们的实际要求。着眼于综合保健的社会、智力及精神方面，并在对随之而来的法律、法规和体制变革的分析基础上，科恩提出了跨学科的研究，向更加易变且多元的医疗保健环境转变。(兼职翻译-XMM)
