This is the first in a series of articles dealing with the range of actual ethical situations that occur in our work, situations that can perplex bodyworkers due in part to an overzealous application of psychological principles. This is an actual case from my practice. In another article we will deal with the ethical implications of this client relationship and others and hopefully expand our understanding of these issues.

At the end of May I presented a seminar in Yokohama: The Power of Touch, for bodyworkers, counselors and the general public. The purpose of the seminar was to present different aspects of touch, different physical and mental conditions, problems from the absence of touch, and why touch is so important in our lives.
