But without the use of touch and action, we believe, they are handicapped in their efforts. With all due respect to the traditional therapeutic establishment and with recognition of the good work that is offered in its name, Diane and I would ask it to reassess its position on the use of touch and action. The utilization of symbolic touch and action as a system can be taught and learned. This is a call for the conservative traditional psychotherapy establishment to consider including the systematic controlled use of touch and action in the training programs for psychotherapists. The curriculum in the training centers for all psychotherapists should include instruction in how to use, not only words, but also action and touch in the service of their clients.
Fire can be destructive but it can also create.
So the fire of touch and action can be harmful - but it too can create. And, like fire used in the preparation of food, touch and action can create as much new satisfaction in psychotherapy as the discovery of cooking with fire created new satisfaction in the enjoyment of food.
