Therapeutic Touch Inner Workbook
Krieger, a key developer of Therapeutic Touch, has seen that alternative-medicine technique practiced in clinics and hospitals throughout the world. She recaps the basics of the method: the concept (borrowed from Eastern therapies) of the body's chakras as centers of human consciousness and the concept of Therapeutic Touch as an alternative form of intelligence--these buttressed by the notion that individuals' sensitivities to the higher orders of their inner selves empower them to become healers. In true workbook fashion, hers proffers exercises called "explorations," complete with lists of needed materials (usually no more than pencil and paper). A few illustrations help familiarize readers with Krieger's overall mind-body-spirit concept, and end material includes lists of health facilities in which Therapeutic Touch is practiced and schools at which it is taught.Whitney Scott
