CPN's New Book Available Now

We're excited to announce the release of our new book Manipulating practices: A critical physiotherapy reader. It's now hot off the e-press and you can download entirely free from our publisher Cappelen Damm.

This 16 chapter book includes themes that range from ethics, education and evidence-based practice, to communication, philosophy and research methods. Perhaps most excitingly, the book has been produced as an open source text (with the generous support of the University of Oslo). This is why the book is free for anyone to download and use. Please share and circulate with your colleagues and networks. 

This has been a collective effort of a five-person editorial team (Barbara Gibson, Dave Nicholls, Jenny Setchell, Karen Synne Groven and Nicky Petty) and 20 CPN members (in published order):

• Barbara Gibson

• Roger Kerry

Huge thanks go to the many contributors and reviews who have helped to produce the book. Your dedication and hard work is much appreciated! We have managed to deliver the book on deadline and met the stringent peer review requirements of Cappelen Damm – Norway’s biggest publisher of scientific literature. Thank you also to Ingrid Eitzen at Cappelen Damm for her help in producing the book.

We're really thrilled with the outcome and hope that the book helps to deepen the body of knowledge around critical physiotherapy.
