Summary:"Touch may well be one of the least understood or talked about subjects in the helping professions. A discussion on the importance and ethics of positive, caring, and appropriate touch in professions such as teaching, nursing and counselling is long overdue."--

We are not angels but human beings with a physical body and a sense of touch. [...] To live in a world where there is the absence of caring touch or very limited touch can produce physical death as well as emotional and spiritual death.
