Annotation	This volume describes several topics in complementary care which are important in geriatric rehabilitation. Therapist involvement in spirituality is of growing interest, and this topic reaches across all boundaries of complementary care. Mental Rehearsal, Tai Chi Chuan, and Energy Therapies are all examples of specific methods which can be used to enhance outcomes in rehabilitation treatment. Further methods and treatments are described and discussed in relation to rehabilitation and prevention of the problems of ageing. (KJ/RH).
