At the Still Point of the Turning World by Robert Lever
The healing arts involve a complex range of skills which each practitioner draws together in a unique way. These skills, attitudes and perspectives complement the scientific basis underpinning each discipline to create the wisdom and artistry of any therapeutic approach. The practice of osteopathy is no exception. It involves a growing field of scientific knowledge in physics and biology that couples with an extraordinary range of human qualities to give the work depth, as well as relevance, and which can be tailored to the individual patient holistically and with compassion. At the Still Point of the Turning World examines and explores both the art and the science of osteopathy through the eyes and approach of a devoted teacher and practitioner. The true value of holism, vitalism and osteopathic principles are discussed as part of the approach that each practitioner brings to the patient/practitioner relationship.For those who have ears to listen and eyes to read it will probably become the most inspiring osteopathic book of their lives and careers! * Paolo Tozzi MSc Ost FT, Osteopathy teacher, Italy *
This book is long overdue and is a contribution to osteopathic thought and philosophy which has never before been so eloquently stated. * Gerald Lamb BSc(Lond) DO, Osteopathy Practitioner, London, UK and International Lecturer *
[This book] will become a classic text of 'must reads' for those who think - . * Nicholas Handoll DO MSCC, Osteopathy practitioner, Hereford UK *
