Summary
"In this work on ethics, Ben Benjamin and Cherie Sohnen-Moe directly address the difficult, confusing and seldom-discussed-but-often-troubling dilemmas confronting touch therapy practitioners. By honestly describing the issues, identifying clear principles, naming specific resources and using stories straight from the treatment room, they have written a book to guide, support and inspire both students and seasoned practitioners. Reflective exercises and questions allow the reader to personalize each chapter."--BOOK JACKET.
