In 35 chapters written by the editors and a team of internationally renowned contributors the book covers the underlying principles of osteopathic palpation from a biodynamic and morphodynamic perspective, and their application in the cranial field and the spinal cord.
\nIt emphasises the importance of considering not just the patient`s physical self, but also the inner consciousness. It teaches how to assess tissue-energy characteristics, and to use this understanding in managing the whole patient.
\nThe work discusses biophysical, neurobiological and psychological interactions as well as the interplay of developmental dynamics and further epigenetic influences on the organism.
\nAs well as the primary respiratory mechanism, various biological rhythms play an important role within osteopathic treatment, the book explores new insights that flow from chronobiology and rhythm research.
\nAll osteopathic practice develops on conceptual foundations. Acknowledging the importance in the practice of osteopathy of such theoretical underpinning, the book discusses osteopathy with regard to the development of paradigms within the healing arts as well as from various philosophical viewpoints much as postmodern, system-theoretical, Goethian and phenomenological. It examines thoroughly the multi-layered dynamics of development of human beings interacting with their environment.
\nThe resulting implications for therapeutic interaction as well as principles of diagnosis and treatment form the core of the book.
\nThese fundamental principles are then specifically applied to the cranial sphere.
\nThis section focuses primarily on the treatment of the brain, as well as the developmental dynamics of the relations of the midline, cranial bones, dural structures, vessels and cranial nerves.<\/p>\n
