Abstract/Notes Reviews are presented of a number of books published during 2001. A variety of publications for the year were selectively sampled by the author as to whether or not they held relevance to the clinical practice of chiropractic and its contemporary understanding. Thirty titles were chosen for inclusion in this review. They address both clinical and professional issues. The review comments are contextualised by commentary on a prevailing theme among the works that underscores the traditional chiropractic concept of innate intelligence. Some authors explore the value of the so-called placebo effect, while others provide suggestions as to the mechanisms by which complementary and alternative medicine, including chiropractic, achieve their therapeutic outcomes. Still others provide a context to assist the reader incorporate this new knowledge. The conclusion is reached that the evidence for the chiropractic paradigm has taken a dramatic step forward, however concern is expressed that fewer chiropractors are now writing less and, as a result, the profession may either fail to capitalise on these advances, or worse, lose ownership of the unique philosophical understanding of health and disease which both sets it apart from other disciplines and raises it beyond mere therapy.
