Abstract:

This thesis deals with the historical context which permitted the appearance of osteopathy. The process of transformation of western medicine, specifically North American medicine, throughout the nineteenth century, the specificity of the American west and the opposition to the official medicine of the USA are considered. The thesis examines the main therapeutic propositions generated at the time, establishing a parallel between these propositions and osteopathy . The principal theoretical streams on which the work of Andrew Taylor was possibly based and his own theory are analyzed.

Abstract original language:
O presente trabalho aborda a conjuntura histórica que propiciou o surgimento da osteopatia. O processo de transformação da medicina ocidental, e mais especificamente a americana, no decorrer do século XIX. Aborda também a medicina do Oeste americano, e a oposição dos grupos alternativos à medicina oficial dos EUA. Examina as principais propostas terapêuticas geradas no momento, criando um paralelo entre estas e a osteopatia. Procura identificar as principais correntes teóricas que possivelmente embasariam o pensamento de Andrew Taylor Still, além de apresentar a sua própria teoria.
