Description
Traditional Chinese Medicine without shortcuts or patches
Book summary
This work is the result of over four decades of clinical and teaching experience by Dr. Marcos Díaz Mastellari in the field of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Far from being a conventional technical manual, the book offers a profound reflection on the teaching and practice of this ancient discipline. The reader will find a critical analysis of training processes, a description of the author's conceptual evolution, and a proposal for building a solid pedagogical doctrine that avoids recurring errors in specialization. It is, in essence, a guide to understanding Chinese Medicine from its foundations, without simplifications or superficial adaptations.
