Essays on practice and diagnosis in traditional Chinese medicine

Guo Boxin’s collection brings together reflections from a career in traditional Chinese medicine, drawing on case examples to discuss how the field is positioned and practiced. Its three stated viewpoints give the essays a clear framework: defining Chinese medicine’s place in professional practice, emphasizing syndrome differentiation in treatment, and treating pulse diagnosis as an essential part of prescribing. The book is presented as a resource for learning about the practitioner’s approach, with the author’s clinical experience shaping its subject matter. The essays were previously published in Chinese before appearing in this English-language edition.
