To help practitioners successfully meet the demand for integrating complementary and conventional medicine, Cohen (JD, MBA, Harvard Medical School/Harvard School of Public Health), a professor of public policy at Harvard, and a physician-anthropologist, profile 25 U.S. integrative health care centers. As part of the first federally-funded study of its kind, they examine therapeutic paradigms, the use of alternative medicine, the centers' development, their decision-making about which therapies to offer, handling of bureaucratic hurdles, and related legal and operational issues. Methodological appendices and general guidelines for the use of herbal dietary supplements are included.
