Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) is a comprehensive sociological exploration that delves into the multifaceted realm of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in contemporary society. It encompasses a thorough examination of the diverse forces operating at global, institutional, and therapeutic levels, shaping the landscape of alternative medicine. Spanning a remarkable 30 years of research, this book unveils insightful trends in the utilization of CAM and delves into the scientific, political, and social challenges it confronts in relation to conventional medicine.
The author conducts a meticulous analysis of the various CAM practices, shedding light on how they manifest across different institutional spaces.

It serves as an essential resource for courses in medical sociology, medical anthropology, social science and health, as well as for a broader audience interested in contemporary health issues, controversies, and alternative medicine. Through its comprehensive and insightful approach, Complementary and Alternative Medicine provides a valuable perspective on the evolving landscape of healthcare and the role of CAM in shaping our understanding and approach to health and well-being.
