Institute of Medicine. 360 pages. Washington, DC: National Academies Pr; 2005. $47.95. ISBN 0309092701. Order at www.nap.edu. Field of medicine: Complementary and alternative medicine and integrative medicine. Format: Hardcover book. Audience: Policymakers, insurers, medical educators, clinicians, and others interested in the use of complementary and alternative medicine by the American public and its research, policy, and practice implications. Purpose: To explore the scientific, policy and practice questions relevant to complementary and alternative medicine use in the United States. Content: The book, which consists of 10 chapters that are the findings of a special committee report commissioned by the Institute of Medicine, summarizes what is currently known about complementary and alternative medicine use in the United States and the evidence for effectiveness of complementary and alternative medicine therapies. It also reviews the relevant methods for evaluating treatment effectiveness, including methodologic innovations that permit testing of real-world complementary and alternative medicine practices. Additional chapters cover research and consumer issues related to dietary supplements, important ethical and legal issues arising from complementary and alternative medicine research and practice, integration of complementary and alternative medicine and conventional medical care, and complementary and alternative medicine educational programs. The book also presents specific recommendations for future research in all of these areas. Highlights: This book provides a current snapshot of complementary and alternative medicine use, research, education, and integration into mainstream health care, which will prove useful to readers wanting to broaden their knowledge of the far-reaching implications of complementary and alternative medicine use in the United States. Readers with a background in conventional health care will appreciate the frequent references to contemporary issues in this field. Clinicians will appreciate the overview of the issues related to dietary supplement use. Limitations: Because many of the recommendations of the committee are ambitious and will take years to realize, highlighting those that the committee believes are the most urgent to implement would have been helpful. In addition, the report reviews a broad array of topics relevant to complementary and alternative medicine but necessarily lacks detail in each specific area. Related readings: The bibliography at the end of each chapter provides excellent and up-to-date references for those readers who wish to delve more deeply into any topic covered. Reviewer: Karen J.
