She also offers numerous practical examples of its application and suggestions for treating patients at home. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnthroposophic medicine is an integrative system of medicine that combines scientific training and practice with a spiritual understanding of the human being. It primarily stimulates self-healing forces and directly supports recovery processes and innate capacities of resistance. Anthroposophic physicians--who are registered general practitioners and specialists--utilize the knowledge and skills of conventional treatments, anthroposophic and homoeopathic medicines, external applications, as well as eurythmy, arts, and physical therapies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr. Michaela Glkler describes the current status of anthroposophic medicine and raises awareness of the social dimension of illness and health to address issues of fate and destiny and to show what individuals can do for their own health and that of others. She reflects on Steiner's call to \"make the health system democratic\" and clarifies why scientific pluralism of methods and freedom of therapy are essential for the future development of healthcare systems and today's understanding of diseases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eC O N T E N T S\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e∞ What Is Anthroposophic Medicine?\u003cbr\u003e∞ Why Have Anthroposophy in Medicine?\u003cbr\u003e∞ Understanding Health and Sickness\u003cbr\u003e∞ Ethics and Salutogenesis\u003cbr\u003e∞ Anthroposophic Medicine\u003cbr\u003e∞ Diet\u003cbr\u003e∞ Biography Work\u003cbr\u003e∞ Anthroposophic Psychiatry and Psychotherapy\u003cbr\u003e∞ The Placebo Effect\u003cbr\u003e∞ Anthroposophic Nursing with Physical Contact and Effort\u003cbr\u003e∞ Education for Special Needs and Social Therapy\u003cbr\u003e∞ Research in Anthroposophic Medicine\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michaela Glkler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1855845733\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781855845732\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rudolf Steiner Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/04\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.50d","brand":"Michaela Glkler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43987530219775,"sku":"9781855845732","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e00aac8e-93f1-4df7-9890-cd41a4cdf752.jpg?v=1683289536","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/what-is-anthroposophic-medicine-michaela-glckler-9781855845732","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
