Written by world-renowned author and teacher Giovanni Maciocia, Diagnosis in Chinese Medicine, 2^nd Edition is a comprehensive, highly illustrated, and easy-to-understand resource. With a focus on clear interpretations of 'real world' signs and symptoms, this new edition addresses the practice beyond the theory and leads you through both basic and sophisticated levels of diagnostic interpretation.

This practical resource helps students and practitioners alike carefully interpret a wide range of diagnostic nuances.
