Abstract
There appears to be a growing public interest in “holistic” and alternative medicine which can be seen as a reaction to the scientific–medical role (Mechanic, 1978) of a conventional medicine which often fails when confronted by emotional or psychosomatic problems, and to fears, by the public, about the side-effects of therapeutic drugs.Keywords
