5 – 7pm (then drinks reception until 8pm)
Rollin Becker devoted his life as an Osteopath to learning how Health is delivered within a Living Human Mechanism. The aim of this year’s Rollin Becker Memorial Lecture is to explore some of the wisdom of his legacy. In a letter to his friend and colleague, Anne Wales DO, he offered the following observation:
“There is a tremendous difference between talking about the Breath of Life in the Science of Osteopathy and putting it to work on a consistent basis in every patient with every treatment.”
This then, is the task with which we are presented. Fortunately, Dr Becker also identified Osteopathic Principles and guides to Practice which can help us on our way towards making this possible in our work. Among these are:
- the importance of rediscovering a capacity for truly listening
- the essential importance of discovering the patient’s ‘Pattern of Health’
- Stillness as a motive force in Healing
- total reliance on the physician within the patient as his or her ‘Silent Partner’ and its communication with our own
All are welcome to attend this lecture.
