The book Acupuncture by Prof. Dr. Edvin Dervišević is not just a textbook – it is a testimony of a path, a commitment and a bridge between East and West. The first edition was published back in 1990 , at a time when the concept of acupuncture was just opening the doors of medicine in this region. At the time, that book was a pioneering undertaking: a structured guide through the principles of traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture practice, written by a doctor who bravely combined medical science and millennial tradition.
The fourth, expanded edition from 2025 brings more than 1,200 pages of content, richly illustrated with meridian diagrams, point locations, and tables that facilitate learning. It is a monumental work, equally valuable for the student entering the world of TCM for the first time, as well as for the experienced practitioner seeking depth and precision. The book is not just a technical manual - it is an academic foundation , but also a narrative of how knowledge can be transmitted from generation to generation.
Precisely because of its clarity and comprehensiveness, Acupuncture has become the official course textbook of our school, and is also used in other educational programs throughout the region and Europe. It is more than a book: it is a learning map , a guide to clinical practice, and a sign that medicine knows no boundaries when it is at the service of man and his well-being.
