Dr Caroline Shreeve qualified as a doctor at St Mary's Paddington,
and practiced for ten years in London and the Transkei. Her writing
career began as assistant editor of
Medicine
and medical copy writer and consultant to the advertising agency of J.
Walter Thompson. Dr Shreeve has written many articles on conventional
and alternative approaches to medical problems and her books include
The Premenstrual Syndrome - The 'Curse' that Can be Cured,
Depression and Overcoming the Menopause Naturally.
Once a staunch supporter of orthodox medicine, her interest in
alternatives was stimulated by her husband, a hypnotherapist, and she
now has a strong interest in promoting understanding between the two
approaches to healing.
