And she was very skeptical of it. In 19, her study was published in 1998. She did the study as her fourth grade science project. It debunked something that had become a plague in the American hospitals and clinics.
In this episode we discuss the self and interview Bruce Hood, author of "The Self Illusion." Also, at the end, we eat a chewy chocolate chip cookie and discuss therapeutic touch.
