Osteopathic Diagnosis

Rating:
Summary: A good book on a difficult topic
Review: This book focuses on osteopathy as practiced in Europe, and will be helpfull for students in learning how to assess the patient. It gives clear guidelines on safety, which is of primary importance when dealing with patients.

The book gives regional approaches, and focuses less on body unity (which is a difficult subject). The spinal- and pelvic mechaniscs, especially as given by Littlejohn, Fryette, Wernham and Mitchell recieves little attention, which I think is fundamental in approaching the total patient.

The book is recommended, and the authors are congratulated for filling in a gap in the osteo-pathic litterature.
