Typology - Gil Berger

Learn to see beyond the symptom. How to decode an individual's energy signature as soon as she entered your office? Gil Berger gives you the keys to a fine typological analysis for a truly personalized acupuncture.

In this major book, Gil Berger explores the art of constitutional typology in traditional Chinese medicine. He decrypts how the five movements (wood, fire, earth, metal, water) express themselves in the human being, not only through its morphology, but also its temperament, its pathological predispositions and its emotional reactions.

The author proposes a clear methodology to identify the "land" of the patient. By understanding whether an individual belongs to a specific typology or a complex mix of items, the practitioner can adapt his choice of points and therapeutic strategy with increased precision. It is an approach that allows to treat the root of the individual rather than the simple manifestation of his illness.

For who ?

• Acupuncturists and MTC practitioners: wishing to refine their constitutional diagnosis and customize their care protocols.
• Osteopaths and physiotherapists: eager to integrate an energy and typological reading of the body posture.
• Students: to learn to make the link between the five-item theory and the actual clinical observation of the patient.

The + of the book :

• The approach is structured: a detailed analysis of each type (wood, fire, earth, metal, water) physically and psychologically.
• Clinical expertise: fruit of a long experience of land combining acupuncture and the overall understanding of the body.
• Diagnosis aid: precise observation criteria (complexion, voice, behavior, morphology) to no longer be wrong.
• Holistic vision: a book that allows the symptomatology to be reconciled with the patient's identity.
