This is a book for manual and general therapists interested in the exploration of psychosomatic and psychological ills. Drawing on wide-ranging study, clinical and teaching experience, the author starts from the purely physical findings familiar to the manual therapist, and builds therapeutic models and understandings that are both innovative and easy to apply. Latey's main theme is that physical, mental, emotional and social problems of various sorts are inextricably linked, and are best treated together by the manual therapist. This book is intended for osteopaths, chiropractors, physiotherapists and other manual therapists, and all professions interested in holistic medicine.
