Nearly half of German psychiatric patients use unconventional therapy
posted Thursday, 30 August 2007
MedWire News: Almost half of psychiatric patients in Germany use alternative therapy, with a quarter believing in its efficacy, say German scientists, who also found that folk medical practices are more commonly used by people if they have a traditional background.
