"Giovanni Maciocia is a respected guide in this transition period of East Asian medicine to the western arena. His accomplishments as a teacher and writer have made him a major force in this successful movement from one world to another. Foundations of Chinese Medicine, Practice of Chinese Medicine and Tongue Diagnosis in Chinese Medicine are all outstanding contributions of scholarship and clinical acumen, and this present volume Obstetrics and Gynaecology in Chinese Medicine significantly adds to his accomplishments. Indeed, one begins to see the outlines of a Maciocia transmission or tradition existing within our very own generation."

From Dr. Ted Kaptchuk’s foreword to Giovanni’s book Obstetrics and Gynaecology in Chinese Medicine.
