From: "Jeffrey C. Ives"
Subject: Alternative Therapy Summary
To: "Jeff Ives, Ph.D."
X-Mailer: VersaTerm Link v1.1.1
Netters,
Below is a summary of my search for materials to construct a
course centered on alternative therapeutic modalities I am cross-
posting this summary on a variety of listservers (biomch-l,
chiro-list, neuromus, physio) as requested by many of the respondents.
Most of the references are from my own searches (but none from a
computer search, so there may be many more out there). I have tried
to include only journal refs from 'established' or easily located
journals.
For brevity and relevance to these listservers, the topics have been
limited to therapies that have a direct impact on the neuromuscular
and skeletal systems or movement re-education. In general, this
includes 'hands on' manipulative therapies. Not included are
Chinese medicine (although some acupressure refs are included),
mind/body medicine, neural therapy, magnetic therapy (it is
understood that both neural and magnetic therapy do have relevance
for this posting, but one must draw the line somewhere), and
everything else. By the way, I am still compiling information,
so feel free to contact me with more data.
Thanks to all who responded,
Jeff Ives, Ph.D.

Below is a summary of my search for materials to construct a
course centered on alternative therapeutic modalities I am cross-
posting this summary on a variety of listservers (biomch-l,
chiro-list, neuromus, physio) as requested by many of the respondents.
Most of the references are from my own searches (but none from a
computer search, so there may be many more out there). I have tried
to include only journal refs from 'established' or easily located
journals.
For brevity and relevance to these listservers, the topics have been
limited to therapies that have a direct impact on the neuromuscular
and skeletal systems or movement re-education. In general, this
includes 'hands on' manipulative therapies. Not included are
Chinese medicine (although some acupressure refs are included),
mind/body medicine, neural therapy, magnetic therapy (it is
understood that both neural and magnetic therapy do have relevance
for this posting, but one must draw the line somewhere), and
everything else. By the way, I am still compiling information,

I am developing a course along similar lines although it will take
more of a health promotion perspective rather than a therapeutic
perspective. Sources include: Journal of Behavioural Medicine;
Advances--The Journal of Mind-Body Health; Bill Moyer's book and
video series on Healing and the Mind, Daniel Goleman and Joel
Gurin (Eds.); and Mind-Body Medicine (Consumer Reports Books,
