Reviews of my Great Intent translation.
‘It is a difficult job to read traditional Chinese medical canons in the classical style – even for the young Chinese – but an exceptional translation into English can miraculously benefit scholars worldwide who wish to study the real ancient meaning of Chinese medicine. Richard Bertschinger’s The Great Intent is such a book.’ Professor Dr Bo-Ying Ma, MD, MA, PhD, FRSM.
‘Chinese acupuncturists were much more adept at using language to aid learning when compared to the simple mnemonics and acronyms used in Western medicine. This unique book would be of great interest to experienced acupuncturists wishing to understand more about the complexities of traditional assessment, diagnosis and treatment.’ Helen Oakes, Clinical Editor of the Journal of the AACPhysiotherapists.
‘If you love Chinese medicine, read this book. You will actually feel you are part of a centuries-old tradition. In a way, it’s a bit like having the handouts from a Ming dynasty college. But it’s more… Richard, in a labour of love, conveys across centuries some of that ineffable “stuff” called wisdom.’ John Hicks, Principal/co-Founder of the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine.
