Prolific
Writer and Speaker:
James
L. Oschman, Ph.D. is the author of a ground-breaking series
of articles on "healing energy" published in the Journal
of Bodywork and Movement Therapies. These articles have
now been developed into a book, Energy Medicine: The Scientific
Basis, published in the Spring of 2000 by Harcourt Brace/Churchill
Livingstone, Edinburgh. This book is giving the most skeptical
academic scientists a basis for exploring the physiology of
energy medicines.
Dr. Oschman is one of the few academic scientists who has explored
the basis for complementary and alternative medicines. He has
published 26 full-length articles in academic scientific journals
and 40 articles in alternative and complementary therapy journals.
In his work, he refers to the same science that provides the
foundation for modern clinical medicine. Jim lectures widely
on the energetic phenomena taking place in the therapeutic situation.
He has developed useful insights that can help all therapists
better understand and advance their work and explain it to others.
His many scientific papers have been published in the world's
leading journals. And, to learn about the theories and practices
underlying complementary methods, Jim has both taught and attended
classes at various schools around the world, and experienced
a wide range of bodywork techniques.
