"This 9th edition of this award-winning book continues to offer fresh, new, readily accessible, and timely information regarding the most important and commonly used complementary therapies. These can be introduced to graduate and undergraduate nursing students in educational programs and used by entry level, more experienced and advanced practice nurses for professional practice and self-care. Credible information is needed to provide the safe and effective use of complementary therapies, both for consumers as well as practitioners (Lin et al., 2021; World Health Organization, 2019). This book is a valuable resource as a handbook for nursing students, working nurses, and advanced practice nurses who desire to increase the use of complementary therapies in their practice. Use of these therapies can enhance health, well-being and quality of life of patients, improve the quality of care and improve satisfaction outcomes. Complementary therapies and integrative health approaches can be used by nurses to address needs of the whole person, including their body, mind, emotion and spirit (American Holistic Nurses Association, 2016; American Holistic Nurses Association/American Nurses Association, 2019)"-- Provided by publisher.
