The double facets of osteopathy's identity

Questions relating to osteopathic identity are likely to be characterised by a double facets made up of both traditional and contemporary elements. The analysis that we aim to conduct seems to us robust by presenting these components as elements able to dialogue. It is through Paul Ricoeur's concept that we propose to approach it: the idem identity concerns the elements that provide a certain temporal stability whilst the ipse identity embodies the variable aspects of the constitutive elements of osteopathy.
