An essay on the importance of touch to children's growth and development and to the physical and mental well-being of people of all ages.The first sensory input in life comes from the sense of touch while a baby is still in the womb, and touch continues to be the primary means of learning about the world throughout infancy, well into childhood. Touch is critical for children's growth, development, and health, as well as for adults' physical and mental well-being. Yet American society, claims Tiffany Field, is dangerously touch-deprived.Field, a leading authority on touch and touch therapy, begins this accessible book with an overview of the sociology and anthropology of touching and the basic psychophysical properties of touch. She then reports recent research results on the value of touch therapies, such as massage therapy, for various conditions, including asthma, cancer, autism, and eating disorders. She emphasizes the need for a change in societal attitudes toward touching, particularly among those who work with children.

Comment un massage adapté permet-il de réduire le stress, la dépression, la douleur, ou de soulager les personnes souffrant d asthme, d autisme, de désordres alimentaires, etc.? En quoi le toucher est-il important pour le développement de l enfant et le bien-être de l adulte ? Quelles sont les principales thérapies par le toucher et quels bienfaits chacune d entre elles peut-elle nous procurer ? S appuyant sur les études scientifiques les plus récentes menées dans tous les pays sur des nourrissons, des enfants, des adolescents et des adultes, Tiffany Field montre à quelles conséquences physiques et mentales peut conduire une ± déprivation sensorielle et nous rappelle que si la nature nous a dotés de deux mains, c est aussi pour que nous puissions nous transmettre bien-être, chaleur et affection.Tiffany Field, psychologue, dirige le Touch Research Institute à la Faculté de médecine de l Université de Miami (États-Unis).Traduit de l anglais (États-Unis) par Françoise Bouillot.
