More Harm Than Good? examines ethical and legal problems surrounding complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). Drawing on academic research and online sources, the book identifies where moral principles and regulatory safeguards break down and offers careful analysis rather than polemic.

The authors survey familiar CAM modalities — acupuncture, chiropractic, herbalism and homeopathy — and illuminate how promotion, recommendation and practice can create ethical dilemmas for patients and clinicians. Short real-world and hypothetical scenarios illustrate common conundrums and decision points.

Useful for clinicians, students, policymakers and patients weighing treatment options, the book frames CAM issues in terms of professional responsibility, informed consent and legal accountability.

Key features

  • Ethical frameworks applied to common CAM practices
  • Practical case scenarios and analysis
  • Focus on legal and professional implications
