Efforts to integrate complementary and alternative medical (CAM) therapies, such as chiropractic, acupuncture and oriental medicine, massage therapy, and herbal medicine, into conventional medical settings are creating a variety of negotiation challenges between various stakeholders.
Focusing on the two-party encounter between physician and patient offers a way to understand the application of principled negotiation to perhaps the most fundamental and emotionally charged place within the healthcare system in which the introduction of CAM therapies is likely to disrupt relationships and produce conflict. The theory and analysis of principled negotiation can add to current liability and ethical frameworks, and might thereby contribute to optimal future health car, by helping to wisely integrate CAM therapies into conventional medical care.
