Reviews:

"Dr. Gary Dolowich has written an intensely moving and balanced account of his synthesis of Five Elements acupuncture, Jungian psychology, and modern medicine. There is much to consider and ponder in this engaging volume."

-Ted Kaptchuck, Author of The Web That Has No Weaver

"This book serves as a path for our Western world into the heart of Chinese medicine. I recommend Archetypal Acupuncture to practitioners and patients, as well as to those who simply seek a fresh appreciation of the mystery that is life."

- Dorit Reznek, President of Academy for Five Element Acupuncture

"Dr. Dolowich captures the spirit of the Five Element system, as transmitted by J.R. Worsley, and expands our understanding in an exciting direction."

- Fritz Fredrick Smith, M.D., Founder of Zero Balancing and Author of Inner Bridges
