Description: With thoughtfulness, care, and caution, this book brings together experienced clinicians to review the research and to offer ethical, theoretical, and practical guidelines for using nonerotic touch in therapy settings. Grounded in empirical findings, the volume gives voice to both therapists and clients. Its goal is to help practitioners formulate their own appropriate and therapeutic approach to touch.
