Dr. Older sets himself the following tasks in this importan book: To legitimize the use of touch as a healing agent. To describe the therapeutic uses of touch. To convey the skills of those who are gifted in the use of touch and the experiences of patients, touched and untouched." - from dust-jacket blurb. .
