Courses for aromatherapy vary from short leisure course to degree level in institutions of higher education and entry qualifications are inconsistent. The background and experience of those delivering the courses is also variable. Currently there is only one chair of Complementary Medicine in the UK. This is at the Peninsula Medical School at the University of Exeter and Plymouth where they conduct scientific research and publish peer-reviewed articles. Many complementary therapists are self-employed and work in sole practice. [Pg.120]

Plato s most famous pupil was Aristotle. Aristotle came from Stageirus, on the Chalcidic peninsula of northern Greece, where his father, Nicomachus, was a physician. Aristotle would probably have followed his father into medicine, since medical education and practice were passed down from father to son, but Nicomachus died when Aristotle was about 10 years old. He was raised by a relative, and, in 367 b.c.e., at the age of 17, Aristotle became a student at the Academy. He stayed for 20 years, first as a student and later as a teacher. When Plato died, Aristotle may have expected to become the head of the Academy in Athens, but the position went to Speusippus, who was Plato s nephew. Little is known about Speusippus he seems to have followed some of Plato s ideas but rejected Plato s theory of forms. Aristotle left the Academy, partly because of his situation at the Academy and partly because of political turmoil in Athens. He traveled to Macedonia, where he tutored Alexander, son of King Philip. When Alexander became king, he supported Aristotle s creation of the Lyceum, a rival school in Athens. [Pg.14]
