Some of these essays are very sharp and helpful. I'm not sure why others are even included except perhaps that at the time the collection was published there might not have been much lay-reader oriented writing available on CST. A couple of the WORST pieces are by Upledger himself. Also the best. It's interesting how often he says to leave ego out of it and then goes on about how "I" fixed this or that, when the whole principle is to stay out of it and be only a mirror and a facilitator for the client's healing. Nevertheless, some great stuff here about the basics. And I say that as someone coming from a different tradition than Upledger's.

This book is a collection of essays by prominent people in the Craniosacral field. I really enjoyed the essays by John E. Upledger, but some of the others didn't speak to me in the same way. I have since read more by Dr John himself, and will continue to find more of his writings. This book provides a variety of viewpoints on how CST works and what conditions it can help. It is a fair primer on the material, but it wouldn't be the first book I would recommend.
