Interface: Mechanisms of Spirit in Osteopathy begins with an exploration of the philosophy of Osteopathy and proceeds to synthesize current scientific and esoteric understanding to explain through biochemistry and spiritual principles the unity of body, mind, and spirit. With this knowledge, one can find a model of wellness and a means of guiding a return of structure and function towards health.

Osteopathy derives from a philosophy that was born in the mind of A T Still in 1874 which has shown itself to have the power and potency to penetrate and spur therapeutic thought in perpetuity. Still's Osteopathy begins with the premise that body, mind, and spirit are inseparable and, when in order, summon self-healing--the pivotal point for Osteopathic treatment that Still championed.

The book illuminates the sources of Still's principles and practice: industrial breakthroughs, popular philosophy, spiritual traditions, as well as personal insight, perception and extensive anatomic investigation. It then synthesizes current scientific and esoteric understanding to explain through biochemistry and spiritual principles the unity of body, mind, and spirit - a model of wellness and a means to guide restructuring and return function towards health. This model emanates from the ideas of William Sutherland, an important student of Still who contributed the Cranial Concept, an unveiling of palpable evidence for self-healing. Those with a penchant for perceiving and practicing both celestial and terrestrial principles of healing will enjoy and benefit from this book.

"Robert Paul Lee, DO, grew up and went to college in the same locale where Andrew Taylor Still, MD, DO grew the concepts and received the revelations that led to his discovery of Osteopathy. Years before Dr. Lee was aware of the existence of either Dr. Still or Osteopathy, he sat on the edge of ""Mount Oread"" on the campus of the University of Kansas contemplating the cosmic concepts of life while gazing east into the broad valley where Dr. Still read medicine under the tutelage of his father on the Wakarusa Shawnee Indian Mission, now Eudora, KS. In college, Lee studied biochemistry and physiology and then, after a four-year stint of selling pharmaceuticals and being introduced to osteopathic physicians in practice, he then went on to receive his DO degree from the University of Health Sciences, College of Osteopathic Medicine in Kansas City, Missouri in 1976. After some years practicing family medicine, in 1985, he became determined to learn more about Osteopathy's treatment of health problems related to structure-function and completed a residency in Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine at the AT Still University, College of Osteopathic Medicine in Kirksville, Missouri where in 1892 Dr. Still started the first osteopathic school. Dr. Lee then returned to Oregon to practice Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine at Eastmoreland Hospital in the Department of Osteopathic Services, where he eventually became the director. In 1991 Lee moved to Durango, Colorado where he established a private practice in OMM. He retired in 2020. Teaching: Dr. Lee has been a longtime faculty member teaching with the Osteopathic Cranial Academy on these courses: Introductory, Cranial Base, Next Steps, and Brain Parenchyma and Nuclei. He has directed the OCA Introductory courses and courses taught by Maurice Bensoussan, MD of Paris, FR. He also served as the course director for numerous Rule of the Artery courses taught by faculty from Australia and New Zealand. Independently, Dr. Lee has taught his own discoveries in Traditional Osteopathy in the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, UK, Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, France, Spain and Italy. In addition to his book, Interface: Mechanisms of Spirit in Osteopathy, he has published many articles which are posted on his webpage: www.cranialosteopathy.com."

Reviews for Interface: Mechanisms of Spirit in Osteopathy

"""Interface is a wide-ranging and highly engaging exploration of both the historical roots and the modern science underlying some of the most important ideas in therapeutics. In it, Lee describes the origin of form, the blueprint of the body, in a manner that is both scientific and poetic. Those who use their hands to nurture their fellow beings will find on these pages precious insights, validation, and inspiration."" - James Oschman, PhD, Author of Energy Medicine: The Scientific Basis ""Paul Lee has undertaken the daunting task of using the last century's advances in knowledge to elucidate the visionary contributions of osteopathy's founder to the practice of medicine. All will appreciate his effort to bring a better level of scientific understanding to bear on the cognitive and experiential aspects of both osteopathic theory and practice."" - Anthony G. Chila, DO, FAAO, Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine ""Reading this text is a wonderful journey into the depth and spirit of osteopathy. It is exciting and reawakens the reader to the beauty of wholeness. Dr. Lee has pulled back a veil that has hidden the essence of osteopathy for nearly a century."" - James S. Jealous, DO, Biodynamics Programs ""Paul Lee reviews the philosophy of osteopathy in the light of modern knowledge, rediscovering something that was lost in 20th-century interpretations, that is, the significance of spirit and the interface of spirit with the body. Interface enhances and broadens our comprehension of osteopathic philosophy. This is the groundswell of 21st-century osteopathy."" - Nicholas Handoll, DO, MSCC, Author of Anatomy of Potency"
