Aus dem Klappentext

Cranial Osteopathy is both a textbook for practical training as well as an in-depth reference work, providing the knowledge base for successful application of cranial osteopathy. Designed with the practitioner in mind, it provides a comprehensive compilation of recent studies and research in this field, with extensive resource materials, and nearly 500 illustrations and photographs.This book will deepen your practice of cranial osteopathy in the following ways: Enable better assessment of responses to treatment Enable a more integral palpatory approach to the patient, with a deepening of the different dimensions of touch and resonance Enable better differentiation in the cranial examination of patients Facilitate the process of conscious listening during palpation Clarify the act of therapeutic synchronization with the homeodynamic forces in the tissues Provide a better understanding of the stages of growth and modes of ossification of bones, which explain certain windows of time in treatment Provide a more precise understanding of sutures to enable more satisfactory delivery of treatment REVIEWS Torsten easily grasps that the human body is designed to work correctly, and that it is not the operator's job to make it work right. The physician's role is to encourage and assist the body to do what it knows how to do best, which is to work correctly, thereby regaining good health.Torsten also understands the basic truth of palpation: 'You do not feel with your fingers, you feel with your brain through your fingers, or whatever part of the body you are utilizing to contact the patient's body.' I feel certain that when this book is printed and available to the profession, it will become a basic text for all future students of the science of osteopathy. --Alan R. Becker, D.O., F.A.A.O., F.C.A.Former President, American Academy of Osteopathy
