![]() ![]() I now see how much it was a part of humanity before the advent of technology, crime, war, etc. I’d like to be able to touch more and be touched - in a therapeutic way. I absolutely needed to read this for my personal benefit. It's fabulous, but that first section can be a tough read. don't let it stop you from reading the rest of the book. It will affect your ability to understand some of the more complex concepts later in the book, but you can still get the majority of it if you skip this section. This information is referred back to in some later sections, but you CAN skip it without being completely lost. I suspect lot of people put it down at this point because it is really distressing reading. One WARNING: an early part of the book deals with the Harlow maternal deprivation experiments on monkeys. I really wish there was a newer edition of this that integrated more research on autism, as this has some tantalizing information that he didn't have enough details on to go into in depth because there was so little research available at the time. ![]() Highly recommended for parents and anyone working with children, particularly those with any type of sensory disorder. ![]() ![]() Excellent book that covers the skin as sensory organ. ![]()
