Abstract:
Touch is not just about physical contact. It includes touching or moving others with the power of your words, ideas, music, images, literature and poetry. Without touch of some kind psychotherapy is not possible. It is perhaps the only crucial element in psychotherapy—to have the capacity to touch and move another in a way that enables them to transform their experience. To do this we need firstly to be profoundly ‘in touch’ with ourselves.
