POV date December 2007 Manipulative methods The Metamorphic Technique is a gentle form of foot, hand and head massage that can be carried out by anyone with a brief training in the technique. It draws on reflexology in its theory and approach. It does not claim any specific healing power but uses the idea that the massage helps the individual s own innate inner intelligence free deep blocks in their body s energy pattern The scientific consensus is that there is no evidence for energy patterns and somehow bring about resolution of stuck patterns at the root of problems in their life and health. It focuses on reflexology meridians in the feet, hands and head which correspond to the spinal column and in turn to the incarnation , gestation and childbirth birth of the individual. It was devised originally by British naturopathy naturopath Robert St. John in the 1960s. He had been practising reflexology on his patients but found he had more success if he gave up trying to bring about a specific result and gave a general massage of the spinal reflexes. It was further developed by his student Gaston Saint Pierre in the 1970s who coined the term Metamorphic Technique and founded the Metamorphic Association in 1979. Robert St.John preferred to stick with the name of Metamorphosis and was involved with the branch with this name until his death . It is taught and practiced in UK and many places particularly in California, Ireland, Australia and South Africa. Metamorphic Technique is practiced and taught in UK and Europe amongst other places. There are subtle differences in viewpoint around the issue of intent, between the two schools but people learn the same simple basic practice in both although each school developed some extra practices that are unique to themselves at later stages.

Gruenke 1991 3 S.C.R. 263 is a leading Supreme Court of Canada decision on privilege . The Court developed a case by case test for determining if a communication is privileged. Prior to the test, only communications that fell into one of narrow set of privilege classes could gain protection from being submitted in a court of law. Background Adele Rosemary Gruenke was a 22 year old reflexologist a type of therapy similar to acupressure . Philip Barnett, an 82 year old friend and client of Gruenke, had loaned her a significant amount of money including money to start a reflexology clinic. They lived together for a time in a platonic relationship he had even put her in his will until he began to make advances to her, at which point she moved home with her mother. Barnett s advances became more aggressive, to the point where she and her boyfriend plotted to kill him. One night in November 1986, she met with Barnett in his car and a fight broke out. She and her boyfriend beat Barnett to death. Two days after the murder, a counselor who had been talking to Gruenke prior to the murder went to a local church and told the pastor there of Gruenke s intention to commit the murder. At trial the conversation between the counselor and pastor was admitted and proved sufficient to convict Gruenke.
