Abstract:

This text was originally compiled by the authors in 1943 from material supplied by Dr. William G. Sutherland and from his treatise, The Cranial Bowl, which was published in 1939. The Academy of Applied Osteopathy, an affiliate of the American Osteopathic Association, sponsored the first printing of The Manual, which was distributed by a cranial committee of the Academy, consisting of Doctors Rebecca C. Lippincott, Kenneth E. Little, and Richard B. Gordon, chairman. After the organization of the Osteopathic Cranial Association in affiliation with the Academy of Applied Osteopathy the distribution was continued by the O.C.A. Upon exhaustion of the original edition this reprint was accomplished by the Osteopathic Cranial Association through its Publication Committee. The book is primarily designed for the use of those who have studied under Dr. Sutherland and is not intended as a complete exposition of his cranial concept. Further material given out by Dr. Sutherland and a fuller understanding of cranial osteopathy make it possible to add to the original text and advisable to make some deletions.
