Great

I used this book for an academic project on the phenomenology of touch. I think this is a great resource in the US, where touch is largely undervalued and ignored, particularly in early child development. Field shows how touch is not only vital to life-sustenance for newborns, but also necessary for continued development, emotional stability, and identity formation throughout one's lifetime.

Definitive text on latest research

She opens your eyes with the research she has gathered about touch and how important it is for all of us whether introverts or extroverts. We can help people decrease their blood pressure by giving them long hugs every day or help people through stressful situations just by gentle firm touch. This book shares how massage can benefit people who are stressed, pregnant, or have high amounts of anxiety. We can make the world a better place by having positive touch from infancy to adult hood.

Libro molto ben fatto. Aggiornato sulle più recenti ricerche scientifiche sul tema del contatto. Descrive diverse applicazioni in ambito clinico (accertate o plausibili). Dimostrando grande serietà, l'autrice evidenzia anche le aree in cui vi è necessità di altra ricerca per confermare i risultati, e sottolinea come alcune ricerche siano state eseguite in maniera più accurata e controllata rispetto ad altre. Insomma, una grandissima specialista del settore. Auspicabile una traduzione in italiano per facilitarne la diffusione. Comunque il libro è ben scritto, e comprensibile anche per un non madrelingua inglese come me.
