Over recent decades, scientific efforts have been devoted to establishing the significance of touch, particularly affective touch, in the treatment and prevention of mental disorders and clarifying the underlying mechanisms of touch and massage therapy. This book contributes to this rapidly expanding area of research and gives new insights on recent clinical and experimental findings. A strong plea is made by the editors for well-designed clinical studies which require very special methodologies. A broad spectrum of various touch therapies are already available at present. Modern treatment and prevention of mental disorders should go beyond the pharmacological and psychotherapeutic approaches and should make use of the beneficial effects of touch therapies with the additional benefit of a very small risk of adverse outcomes.Significance of Touch in Psychiatry HumanitiesbicsscSocial interactionbicsscorienting reflexmotivational systemtouch therapyintegrative psychotherapysomatic psychologytouchpainC-tactile afferentsfibromyalgiaanhedoniafMRIposterior insulasports massagecurrent emotional statemoodtherapist's sexathlete's sexmassage therapypsychoactive massageaffect-regulating massage therapyaffective touchdepressioninteroceptionC-tactile fibersbody psychotherapychronic back painoxytocinsomatoform pain (ICD 10)somatic symptom disorder (DSM-5)HumanitiesSocial interactionMüller-Oerlinghausen Brunoedt1338948Eggart MichaeledtMüller-Oerlinghausen BrunoothEggart MichaelothBOOK9910674034403321The Significance of Touch in Psychiatry3059251UNINA
