Professional Identity at Los Angeles College of Chiropractic
2016, Journal of Chiropractic HumanitiesCitation Excerpt :Some within the chiropractic profession refer to “chiropractic philosophy,” which D. D. Palmer originally defined as “the philosophy, science and art of things natural.”6 It has, however, been argued that “chiropractic philosophy” is a misnomer that implies that “chiropractic has developed a distinct field of philosophy akin to logic, ethics, aesthetics, epistemology, metaphysics and ontology.”6 Therefore, we feel that it is more appropriate to discuss the “philosophy of chiropractic.”
Chiropractic professionalization and accreditation: An exploration of the history of conflict between worldviews through the lens of developmental structuralism
2014, Journal of Chiropractic HumanitiesCitation Excerpt :To the extent that the chiropractic profession can foster and develop the postrational essence of Palmer’s philosophy, it might play a leading role in shaping the transformation of health policy and practices currently under way within the United States and across the world. Palmer’s postrational stance currently subsumed into terminology like vitalism, holism, and therapeutic conservatism29–32 may offer an opportunity to integrate the various competing schools of chiropractic into a coherent postrational strategic approach addressing the larger health issues currently raging in society. Drawing on Palmer’s philosophy and building upon it with new insights could place chiropractic at the forefront of the emerging worldwide health revolution.
Constructing a philosophy of chiropractic I: An Integral map of the territory
2010, Journal of Chiropractic HumanitiesCitation Excerpt :To embrace the wealth of diverse perspectives, include original philosophic premises, adhere to the history of ideas, acknowledge social and cultural forces shaping the profession, and honor the scientific validity claims around clinical entities, a broad framework is required. Many approaches attempt to deal with the philosophical challenges at the center of chiropractic's history: to emphasize the clinical encounter and doctor-patient interaction as central5,7,13,75; to reconcile the philosophical approaches by expanding research methodologies to include whole systems34,35; to dismiss all spiritual jargon from the philosophy9,12,49,76,77; to expand on the traditional philosophical premises6,15,16,20,78; to link the philosophical premises to complexity and systems theory46,79-81; to relate it to a hierarchy of values or worldviews and to the highest levels of human function and spiritual development8,15,26,27,44,46,82; and to embrace the wider root metaphors underlying the philosophical premises such as vitalism, holism, naturalism, therapeutic conservatism, and critical rationalism.10,60,80 This latter approach, in particular, has garnered wide support within the profession.83,84
