Touch
Book • 2001
This book, now in its second edition, explores the critical role of touch in human development and well-being.
Tiffany Field argues that American society is dangerously touch-deprived, with negative impacts on physical and mental health.
The book discusses how touch therapy can benefit individuals from premature infants to adults, addressing conditions such as asthma, cancer, and eating disorders.
It also delves into the physiological and biological effects of touch, including its impact on brain development, stress reduction, and immune function.
Field emphasizes the need for a daily dose of touch to counteract the isolating effects of modern life and digital social media.
