基本説明
Massages, relaxation, physiotherapy, gestalt therapy, dance therapy, eroticism, sensory-tonic-motor touching, packs/wraps, psychodrama, orgonomy, bioenergy, etc.: all these therapies are currently experiencing unprecedented popularity. Their very existence seems to reveal a fear and a void: alternative medicines are flourishing to make up for the lack of contact among people in our civilized society. We do not touch each other anymore, or if we do it is in a codified, even medically controlled context. How did we get to this point ? How can we choose the right treatment for us as individuals among this array of practices? What are their
backgrounds and what do they claim to do? Bernard Andrieu answers all of these questions in a clear and well-researched book that provides readers with a panoramic view of the history of touch as a means of therapy, as well as a helpful list of the best-known practices.
