Description
Foreword
The Osteopathic Institute of Applied Technique began with a series of lectures given during the year of 1954 at quarterly intervals and at the invitation of the Management Committee of the Maidstone Osteopathic Clinic. Its purpose was the preservation of the Principles, Technique and Practice of Osteopathy as laid down by A. T. Still and Dr. J. M. Littlejohn.
The lectures were given by the Founder Members and invited guests. These were then collected and published in a Year Book dating from 1956. Long since out of print it was considered that such valuable material should be made available to a generation of students and practitioners who have had little opportunity to become acquainted with the fundamental teaching of osteopathic philosophy.
Other contributions to our publications included research from earlier records from the work of the American pioneers in osteopathic development. In its history of little more than a hundred years, there can be no doubt that the osteopathic concept has made an impact on twentieth century medicine that is more then remarkable, but if we are to continue and retain our separate identity we must look to our past in association with the present in building a secure foundation for the future.
