The Journal of the Craniosacral Therapy Association of the UK

Craniosacral therapy (CST) has developed effective healing methods by continually questioning itself as well as established ideas and practices. The magazine continues this tradition and is unafraid of controversy while welcoming informed debate.

The Fulcrum covers a wide variety of subjects such as craniosacral therapy as science or art, humorous pieces and interesting case histories.

In the current issue No 55, circulated in January 2012, Viola Sampson draws from her specialised experience with ME and chronic fatigue syndrome. She emphasises the importance of resources for people managing and recovering from these conditions as well as explaining the importance of extreme sensitivity in the practitioner.

Other articles in this issue:

• Amanda Biggs relates the sequence of events of her interaction with the Advertising Standards Agency following their response to an anti-complementary medicine lobbyist. She argues clearly and carefully, questioning the ASA’s approach and explaining the efficacy of CST.
• Working in Bosnia for the charity Healing Hands, Shabdam Bailey-Bond shows how successful CST can be in helping people deal with war-events-induced traumatisation.
• Andrew Stones explains the importance of the lacrimal bones and related practical approaches.
• Nicola Brough reports on her progress with the CSTA research project at Warwick University.
• Raymond Castellino emphasises the virtues of supervision, going into details of how his trainees get support from supervision as a process and extrapolates the principles to clinical practice in general.

The journal is a good way to keep in touch with what's going on in the craniosacral field, both academically and on a more personal level. Many courses designed for craniosacral therapists are advertised exclusively in The Fulcrum.
