As a craniosacral therapist, I have been looking for a book that I could recommend to clients who want an overview of craniosacral therapy. I still haven’t found the ideal book, but this comes closest. It succinctly covers the concept of the craniosacral system, the principles of treatment, and the conditions for which this therapy can be helpful. All this is sprinkled with inspirational stories from the author’s own practice, covering conditions as diverse as dyslexia, temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ) problems, and vertigo.
Readers of Upledger's earlier book "Your Inner Physician and You" will recognize many of the anecdotes in this book as mercifully cut-down versions of anecdotes in the previous book. This book is an easier read than the previous one and more up-to-date.
I have two reservations about this book. First, the final chapter describes techniques that can supposedly be used by anyone at home. Craniosacral therapy is a very practical skill and I doubt that any of the techniques can be learned from a book. However, you might find it interesting to have some idea of what the techniques are like. My other reservation is that only Upledger's own style of craniosacral therapy is described, and other styles aren’t acknowledged. Similarly, only Upledger's own institutes are listed in the “resources” section.
If this book whets your appetite, Michael Kern's "Wisdom in the Body" would be a good follow-up because it goes into more detail and covers aspects of the therapy not included in Upledger's approach. Upledger's book is probably a good place to start because it’s so succinct, but you need both books for a well-balanced overview.

Cranio Sacral Therapy - An introduction
6 Aug 2005
By Diane Cleary
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
A lot of information in this book is also in Your Inner Physician and You, so it is not necessary to buy both books, although the Inner Physician and You talks more about the continued work of the author. I am really interested in this subject so it was not an issue to re-read some of the material. Those who may wish to save some money may just buy Your Inner Physician and You. This book was sensitively written and easy to read and I am now an admirer of John Upledger after reading it.

Not much about technique - mostly stories

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The "search inside" aspect for this book shows an illustration demonstrating one of the techniques, however discussion of techniques is limited to 16 pages of the 120 pg text. It's also irritating to be provided an 800 number to order self-therapy props and pitches for the author's one-day training course - what did I just buy, advertising?
