• Holding the Tiger's Tail - An Acupuncture Techniques Manual in the Treatment of Disease by Skya Gardner-Abbate

  Holding the Tiger's Tail is primarily a book on technique, but its particular charm lies in the ability of the author to make crystal clear subjects whose complexity can often perplex and mystify students and newly qualified practitioners. It is eminently readable, and an excellent technical and practical reference book for both the clinical student and novice to mid-range practitioner. It makes no attempt to be a comprehensive textbook - more, it is a collection of ideas which clearly interest the author and are well worth taking on board as part of the elaborate tool kit of a skilled practitioner. The book covers much of the practical groundwork of an acupuncture clinician. It is not as basic, for instance, as Acupuncture and Moxibustion- A guide to Clinical Practice by Auteroche, Gervais, Auteroche, Navailh, Toui-Kan, and yet produces a strong sense of the real-life energetics of qi. The evolution of oriental acupuncture into a system suitable for use in the West on western patients is demonstrated through the very human yet eclectic style of this book. Her sources are wide and varied and, where understanding is not readily available from outside sources, Ms Gardner-Abbate is not at all averse to presenting her own hypotheses based on sound clinical experience. A strong point of this book is in the author's ability to convince us that her well developed ideas arise from long-term and varied clinical experience: experiences on which she has reflected at length and constructively, which encompass the entirety of the therapeutic encounter rather than stopping at the level of technical expertise. It is unusual to read a good practical book and, at the same time, get a sense of the author as a rounded, highly evolved practitioner - Ms Gardner Abbate's patients 'live' and so does she.
  
  The book is written in two parts. Part 1, General Treatment Approaches, contains 14 chapters on various techniques.
  
  The first chapter looks at protocols for making a diagnosis and treatment strategies and the second looks at different needling techniques. Here there is a very interesting section on point pathology; using inspection, auscultation, olfaction, palpation and inquiry to determine pathological conditions from points alone. In this section of the book is also a brief but interesting overview of different interpretations of what a point actually is.
  
  There is a simple, straightforward and clear explanation of point classification including luo points, xi (cleft) points, influential points, coalescent points, confluent points etc. Later on in the book, a chapter is exclusively devoted to these points with a stress on the gynaecological implications. This is particularly helpful in view of the proportion of female patients one sees, and the large amount of gynaecological conditions presenting.
