THE ETHICS OF TOUCH

by  Ben E. Benjamin, Ph.D
and Cherie Sohnen-Moe

Ethics is a vital field of study for all massage and bodywork
professionals. Finally, there’s a book to help clarify this often
confusing, vague, and amorphous topic. The Ethics of Touch
is a hands-on practitioner’s guide that we highly recommend
for both students and seasoned professionals. This ground-
breaking word on ethics directly addresses the difficult,
confusing and seldom-discussed-but-often-troubling dilemmas
confronting touch therapy practitioners. It honestly describes
issues, identifies clear principles, names specific resources,
and uses stories straight from the treatment room. It supports

hands-on professionals in expanding their knowledge about the field of ethics, to better manage
boundaries, and to run ethical practices.  This book belongs in the office of every somatic
practitioner.

Contents :  Ethical Principles; Boundaries; Dynamics of Effective Communication; Dual
Relaxationships; Sex, Touch and Intimacy; Ethical Practice Management; Business Ethics;
Special Considerations In Cases of Trauma; Supervision; Forms; Specialized Protocols; and
Sample Codes of Ethics.
