A Practical Handbook for Medicine, Psychology, Nursing, and Therapeutic Professions
The healing power of touch, as a central component of therapeutic practice, is currently attracting increasing scientific and public interest. Until now, however, there has been no interdisciplinary overview of the mechanisms underlying its effects and its areas of application. For the first time, this practical handbook offers a comprehensive, systematic and interdisciplinary overview of touch-based medicine.
It combines a rigorous explanation of its theoretical foundations with practical examples, bringing together insights from medicine, psychology, physiology and neuroscience, to provide a scientific foundation for complementary medicine. Alongside a discussion of neurobiological principles, the book explores modern concepts of the body, embodiment and lived bodily experience, while also presenting profession-specific perspectives from various healthcare disciplines.
In addition, the book presents selected touch techniques and clinical applications of touch medicine, ranging from neonatology and psychiatry to oncology and palliative care. The volume is complemented by contributions addressing ethical issues, training and the implementation of touch-based medical concepts in everyday clinical practice. The book is intended as a definitive reference for all those who regard touch as an effective and responsibly applied component of therapeutic practice and wish to understand and further develop its use.
