David V. McQueen

Social Science & Medicine, 1985, vol. 21, issue 8, 931-936

Abstract: A citation survey of the impact of Chinese medical ideas on Western medical literature is presented. In general it is argued that the diffusion of ideas was very rapid at the beginning of the decade, but has markedly slowed recently. Speculations on this 'loss of interest' are offered.
