Der Gesundheitsbegriff bei A.T. Still

Abstract

„To find health should be the object of the doctor. Anyone can find disease.” Still challenged his followers in 1899 in Philosophy of Osteopathy [1] to find health as he understood it. The aim of the study was to examine the historical background and meaning of Andrew Taylor Still's concept of health. Since language and definitions of terms are a well-known problem in osteopathy, the methodological approach of this study could also be applied to other terms in order to establish a common language in osteopathy in the sense of science.
