Review
Janine Norris, University of Westminster, July 2004
"The third edition of this well researched book provides a fascinating insight into the historical development of auriculotherapy. Olesen utilizes his neuroscience background to comprehensively describe the concepts and theories appertaining to the various microsystems within the discipline. Olesen brings together western neurophysiological concepts and oriental energetic concepts, both systems are treated as clinically valid and therapeutically useful. The work will be an invaluable reference source for all practitioners of auriculotherapy."

Based on the 3rd Edition of this manual, substantially upgraded from the 2nd Edition.
There are many features I like about this revised text. The extensive material at the beginning regarding the historical, theoretical, embryonic and physiologic background added for this addition, was quite helpful to me. An excellent sky view.
Oleson's book is written as a comprehensive manual. It uses 2-dimensional line drawings positioned next to a simulated 3-dimensional ear model to illustrate selected points. Unfortunately many, but not all points are shown anywhere near the text which describes how they are used and the reader is obliged to do extensive cross referencing with the index to track them. It might be wise when getting used to working with the treatment protocols to plan on having a set of blank ear diagrams to draw points the point for focus, because on any given page there are several protocols were are not illustrated, their points are not shown incorporated into the adjacent diagrams and even for the highlighted protocols there are extraneous points which would not be used.
A vast menu of point options is provided in a mostly well organized manner. Obviously, available "real estate" on the auricle is limited. Therefore it is inevitable that duplicate names and purposes exist for the same or nearly the same location. Frequently these proximities of space and function make sense -- but not always. He does not particularly address this phenomenon -- there is a complex discussion about why a given point might shift to another location at a different time or phase.
I still wish there was more scientific validation of the point actions and outcomes.
