Edited by Wallace Sampson, M.D., and Lewis Vaughn. Prometheus Books, 59 John Glenn Drive, Amherst, NY 14228-2197. 2000. ISBN 1-57392-803-8. 246 pp. Softcover, $19. An authoritative collection of research articles and papers dedicated to the careful scrutiny of claims of alternative medicine presented at the conference "Science Meets Alternative Medicine" in Philadelphia, sponsored by CSICOP and the Scientific Review of Alternative Medicine.
It was the first major North American program to explore the social movement of alternative medicine. Scientists, physicians, and scholars such as Sampson, Paul Kurtz ("In Defense of Scientific Medicine"), Saul Green, James Alcock, Barry L. Beyerstein, Ray Hyman, Arnold Relman, Rebecca Long, and Steven Novella use scientific and rational criteria to review evidence for therapeutic claims, critique published studies, and discuss the methods and principles of valid research.
