Invaluable Research Tool,
By Rich Poley (Boulder, Colorado) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Touch Therapy, 1e (Hardcover)
The basic and most important research in the field of touch is being done by Tiffany Field at the Touch Research Institutes. This book is a review of that research through the year 1999. It is a great resource for those in the field and those who want to be in the field of touch therapy.
