This is not exactly a groundbreaking piece of work, yet it succeeds by convicting us of something that we have so taken for granted and lightly - the importance of touch for survival and well-being. The subject matter in this book is familiar to many of us, and therefore very accessible. It seems intuitive, something we have known all along, except we don't think much about.

Highly recommended for those who seek to stay in touch with themselves as well as others.

Touch by Tiffany Field is one of the books that should be read by anyone who is involved with human touch, and that's everyone. Although touch is a universal need, it is so easily overlooked in today's modern world. This book gives the scientific evidence of something we intuitively know is good for us.

Especially touch therapists need to have this book in their personal library. It's a great resource to deepen your knowledge.

Having been a certified massage for over 10 years, I know the power of touch. Tiffany Field has been involved in research for several years, and she knows her work. This book is well documented, and discusses many studies on the power and healing capabilities of touch on everyone from premature babies to nursing home residents, and all of us in between. It should be required reading for every massage student, maybe every student in the health field.

This is an introduction to the deep, important, and fascinating subject of touch by the foremost researcher in the field. While it may not be the best book imaginable on touch, it is the best book available on touch. Simply put, Touch by Tiffany Field is a book that anyone who has ever been touched or wants to touch should read.
