The author of the indispensable bodywork classic JOB'S BODY offers a fresh look at the physically, emotionally and socially transformative powers of touch. Backed up by extensive research as well as long hands-on bodywork experience, this collection of fourteen essays (many originally written for Massage Magazine) takes on not only difficult and critical issues facing therapeutic touch, but also its potential to create positive change in all our lives.

Possibly the most famous and widely used resource in therapeutic bodywork, this beautifully written, detailed and reader-friendly picture of how and why the body responds to touch is both scientifically reliable and inspiring. Furthering the presentation of recent research in biochemistry, cell biology and energy medicine in the Second Edition, this new and greatly expanded edition includes advances in neurophysiology and physics, reconfiguring knowledge of mind and body, from microgenesis to quantum consciousness. A rare book, required reading for national massage therapy certification, that also serves the general reader.
