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. 517 $aSignificance of Touch in Psychiatry 606 $aHumanities$2bicssc 606 $aSocial interaction$2bicssc 610 $aorienting reflex 610 $amotivational system 610 $atouch therapy 610 $aintegrative psychotherapy 610 $asomatic psychology 610 $atouch 610 $apain 610 $aC-tactile afferents 610 $afibromyalgia 610 $aanhedonia 610 $afMRI 610 $aposterior insula 610 $asports massage 610 $acurrent emotional state 610 $amood 610 $atherapist's sex 610 $aathlete's sex 610 $amassage therapy 610 $apsychoactive massage 610 $aaffect-regulating massage therapy 610 $aaffective touch 610 $adepression 610 $ainteroception 610 $aC-tactile fibers 610 $abody psychotherapy 610 $achronic back pain 610 $aoxytocin 610 $asomatoform pain (ICD 10) 610 $asomatic symptom disorder (DSM-5) 615 7$aHumanities 615 7$aSocial interaction 700 $aMu?ller-Oerlinghausen$b Bruno$4edt$01338948 702 $aEggart$b Michael$4edt 702 $aMu?ller-Oerlinghausen$b Bruno$4oth 702 $aEggart$b Michael$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910674034403321 996 $aThe Significance of Touch in Psychiatry$93059251 997 $aUNINA
