Customer rating is 5 of 5  Indispensible Resource Material   2009-06-26
By Fitness Pro (Orlando, FL United States)
This book is a practitioner's guide for Physical Therapist. I consider it an indispensible resource for anyone who comes in physical contact with a client not just Health Care Practitioners, but Health Care Professionals as well. In today's litigious society, this guide defines the safe and effective parameters of therapeutic touch. As a school for Personal Trainers, we strongly recommend this book for all of our trainers and fitness instructors as a guide for the safe and effective practice of their professional responsibilities.

The authors have a background in education, which is fully demonstrated by the book's clear and concise content. The contributing editors are an impressive group from various and pertinent professional disciplines. Ethics of Touch is an easy read and an informative resource for both the client and the practitioner. In addition, each chapter of this book qualifies for Continuing Education Credits (CEUs).

Customer rating is 5 of 5  Excellent and Thought Provoking   2007-09-21
By Brian Martz (Stevens Point, WI USA)
This book is written with massage therapists, physical therapists, chiropractors, etc., in mind, but as an Alexander Technique teacher I find it excellent, thorough and thought provoking. Well worth the price and time.
Customer rating is 3 of 5  more of a college textbook    2006-12-12
By Julie Onofrio (Seattle, WA USA)
The Ethics of Touch is a good textbook to begin learning about professional boundaries and ethics which is a much needed topic for massage therapists who are faced with issues on a daily basis.

What other profession is there that has people come in and take their clothes off and let a strange person touch them. Such a dynamic is ripe for transferrence and counter-transference.

I can't quite put my finger on the reason why I only am giving this book a 3 star rating but it is because it seems like such a cold and impersonal account of ethics. I would recommend getting this book but get some others too - The Educated Heart by Nina McIntosh, Issues and Ethics of the Helping Professions by Corey, and The Ethics of Caring.
