Abstract:

Summarising can be said, that a patient in receives a qualitative and quantitative similar treatment in the four compared countries. All osteopaths work alike according to the different techniques. Also the osteopaths, who have studied in Italy, Belgium or the Netherlands, work as the osteopaths, who have studied in one of the four countries analysed in this survey. There are at the moment no opposite developing directions of osteopathy in the European countries. In this study couldn't be differentiated between medical and non-medical osteopaths, as there didn't take any practitioners part. It is to hope, that there won't be a complete political division in Europe as Gevitz described it in the USA, where 50% of all DOs are practitioners and only 5% of them work with their hands. The important differences refer to political aspects, the prices of treatment and the interval of treatment of chronic patients, as it has been described. As all three osteopathic federations are part of the European federation, where some members are already accepted in their country, it can be hoped, that a common interior national but also a common international political and social action can bring the osteopathic profession in the four analysed countries a similar adequate status. (J.P Hamerlinck, V. Duret) This thesis should help the osteopathic profession to become more clearly to the public. It should also give medical professions an understanding. Maybe this thesis can help the osteopathic federations, the lawgivers and the osteopathic schools to make the osteopathic profession more present and to create legal basis.
