HIH 490 - Therapeutic Touch

This course will introduce the theory and practice of the Krieger-Kunz method of Therapeutic Touch. Concentration will be on the practice of Therapeutic Touch as an intentionally directed process of energy exchange, using the hands to facilitate the movement of energy and restoring balance to the energy system of the human body. The course will focus on the understanding of the basic principles of the human energy field, intuition, intentionality, benefits, theory, principles, process, and experiential learning of the Therapeutic Touch technique. Through readings, lecture, demonstrations, and practice, students will integrate the Therapeutic Touch process with considerations of creating a healing environment, the ethics of practice, and integrating holistic health and self-care.
