title: 'Just the ticket': case studies, reflections and clinical supervision (Part III).
abstract: An earlier paper in this series of three has detailed the background development and organization of a pilot complementary therapy service. The setting was a neuroscience ward with existing staff carrying out the treatments. Outcome measures including physiological indices and patient feedback were reported on in Part II (Dryden et al. 1999). This paper will now focus on both the records of the practitioner's reflections and the recurring themes of their monthly clinical supervision sessions. Subgroups of four patients with Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) are discussed in detail, as they received the most number of treatments between them.
