Exploring the Buddhist/Taoist concept of non-doing and intention in relation to bodywork, this book focuses on how the therapist should approach their client without agenda and meet them where they are at. This requires the therapist to pay attention to their own surfacing intentions and leave assumptions behind so they may focus on simply 'being', which is a profoundly active, non-reactive expression of presence, rather than a passive state of resignation. The ramifications of sub-conscious doing and wilful intention can negatively impact expressions of health and so the author explains how therapists may skilfully navigate between intention, attention and embodied non-doing whilst treating clients, and how this creates the foundations for safe relational touch.

Though postural assessment is a skill required by most therapists and useful for many health and fitness professionals, few resources offer a complete discussion of the topic to support practitioners in the task. Written for students and practitioners of massage therapy, physical therapy, osteopathy, chiropractic, sports medicine, athletic training, and fitness instruction, "Postural Assessment" is a guide to determining muscular or fascial imbalance and whether that imbalance contributes to a patient's or client's pain or dysfunction.

Jane Johnson, a practicing physiotherapist and sport massage therapist and instructor, breaks down the complex and holistic process of assessing posture into easy-to-assimilate sections. Johnson begins with a discussion of ideal posture and the factors affecting posture as well as how to provide the correct environment for postural assessment, necessary equipment, and the importance of documenting assessment findings. Then she details procedures for executing postural assessments from standing posterior, lateral, and anterior views as well as with the patient or client in a seated position.

The text features tips for improving assessment technique, and What Your Findings Mean sections provide readers--students in particular--with guidance for systematic analysis. Each chapter ends with five Quick Questions, with answers, to assist in gauging understanding of the topics covered.

Information in the text is enhanced with detailed illustrations that offer visual cues to learning postural assessment and identifying anatomical relationships. Line drawings illustrate bony landmarks used in the assessments, and numerous photos show both obvious and subtle postural variations. Reproducible illustrated postural assessment charts in the appendix provide space for recording observations during each step of the assessment.

"Postural Assessment" can assist practitioners in learning what posture reveals about the relationships among various body parts and in determining whether such relationships cause or contribute to pain or discomfort. As a resource for novices, "Postural Assessment" offers guidance in observing and identifying common postural forms and interpreting those observations.

"Postural Assessment" is part of the Hands-On Guides for Therapists series, which features specific tools for assessment and treatment that fall well within the realm of massage therapists but may be useful for other body workers, such as osteopaths and fitness instructors. The guides include full-color instructional photographs, Tips sections that aid in adjusting massage techniques, Client Talk boxes that present ideas for creatively applying techniques for various types of clients, and questions for testing knowledge and skill.

Il volume fornisce un panorama aggiornato dei principali aspetti teorici, formativi e di ricerca che attualmente caratterizzano la psicologia clinica in Italia. I diversi contributi presentati nelle prime 4 sezioni (Prospettive e dibattiti; Le psicoterapie: sviluppi ed innovazioni; Psicologia clinica, psicoterapia e ricerca; La dimensione formativa in psicologia clinica ) rappresentano il frutto di un dialogo e di un confronto che si e articolato nel tempo fra alcuni dei principali studiosi italiani. Lo spirito che accomuna i diversi capitoli deriva dalla considerazione che la psicologia clinica implica una clinica essenzialmente psicologica, caratterizzata da metodiche atte a comprendere ed eventualmente modificare stati mentali, schemi di comportamento e sistemi di relazione. Nella sezione quinta In dialogo con altre discipline vengono riportati i contributi della filosofia del linguaggio ed alcune nuove proposte metodologiche sugli studi osservazionali. I diversi capitoli del volume offrono un aggiornato panorama delle principali tematiche che caratterizzano le attuali prospettive della psicologia clinica.

Nadja Buttner entwickelte eine Testbatterie von aktiven Bewegungstests mit dem Ziel der Identifikation von maladaptiven, zervikalen Bewegungsmustern und der statistischen Berechnung der Intertester-Reliabilitat durch visuelle Beobachtung. Anhand einer prospektiven, doppel-blindierten, monozentrischen Querschnittstudie rekrutierte die Autorin 30 Personen mit unspezifischen Nackenbeschwerden, die sieben aktive Bewegungstests durchfuhrten. Die Testbewegungen wurden von zwei unabhangigen Beurteilern als korrekt oder inkorrekt bewertet. Durch ein qualitativ aussagekraftiges Studiendesign mit detaillierten Beschreibungen und Standardisierungen der Testinstruktionen, -ausfuhrungen und -bewertungen hat die Autorin die Studienergebnisse und damit die Bewegungstests im klinischen Praxisalltag umsetzbar gestaltet und fur weitere wissenschaftliche Arbeiten nutz- und vergleichbar gemacht.

Alternative passive kurative Verfahren wie manuelle Techniken, alternative Medizin und die immer noch zunehmenden Wirbelsaulen- und Gelenkoperationen drohen immer mehr, die Bewegungstherapie zu verdrangen. Dennoch konnten sich in Deutschland viele UEbungsbehandlungsmethoden etablieren, womit sowohl die wichtige Rolle von Bewegung bei der Behandlung als auch bei der Pravention von Ruckenbeschwerden fur alle Altersgruppen bestatigt wird.
