This is the first textbook on osteopathic medicine to complement
the dominant 'medical' model of education. Drawing from the
achievements and ideas of the past as well as present-day practice,
it provides an organic yet scientific approach that is uniquely
osteopathic.
Using the work of its founder, Dr Andrew Taylor Still, and the
philosophy of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, McKone shows how true
osteopathy is a philosophy, leading to principles and ultimately to
a unique form of treatment.
This style of thinking brings the philosophy, principles and
clinical practice to life for the student and qualified
practitioner. Anatomy, physiology, signs and symptoms all merge at
the point of treatment. Students and practitioners will find this
book invaluable as it will allow them to bring together all their
osteopathic training into a coherent osteopathic system of
practice.
Walter Llewellyn McKone is an author, lecturer and practitioner
in osteopathic medicine. This includes the osteopathic areas of
health care, sports medicine, manipulative medicine and child care
at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. He is a member of the
National Athletic Trainers' Association (US), American Academy of
Psychology, Scientific and Medical Network (UK), Geologists'
Association (UK) and is a researcher in Goethian centred
medicine.
