THE ETHICS OF TOUCH |
|
|
The Ethics of Touch, by Ben Benjamin, PhD, and Cherie Sohnen-Moe, is to my knowledge the best and most thorough book on ethics available for health care practitioners, particularly those involved in any type of touch therapy. Both authors have tremendous experience and résumés in the field of ethics, and Dr. Benjamin has written numerous articles on the subject. He was also the initiator of (and, for four years, chaired) the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) Council of Schools Professional and Sexual Ethics Task Force. The book is divided into nine chapters: Ethical Principles Boundaries Dynamics of Effective Communication Dual Relationships Sex, Touch and Intimacy Ethical Practice Management Business Ethics Special Considerations in Cases of Trauma and Supervision. In addition, there are three appendices: Forms, Specialized Protocols, and Codes of Ethics, in which the codes of ethics of various professional organizations have been reprinted.
