“…Both treatments produced significant lowering of stress symptoms, with EMDR doing slightly better in fewer sessions. Tiffany Field and co-workers (Diego et al, 2002;Field, Kilmer, et al, 1996;Field, Seligman, et al, 1996) have conducted several studies showing that massage can reduce posttraumatic and other symptoms among children. Although attention control groups have been used, the methodological rigour is not to the standard of the CBT studies.…”

“…Other societies and cultures are less frightened by touch, and are less prone to regard all physical contact as sexual. Field et al (1996) conducted a comparative study of touching in early years settings in France and the USA and noted that American children are touched less, but are more aggressive than their French counterparts. This echoes work that identifies similar themes in the observation of animal behaviour (Harlow & Harlow, 1965;Kraemer, 1985).…”

‘Touch’ in educational and child care settings: dilemmas and responses

This article considers the touching, or rather, not touching, of children and young people in professional settings. Some have argued that many schools and other childcare environments are becoming ‘no touch’ zones. Formal guidelines in the UK are centrally concerned with ‘child protection’ issues, and ‘force and control’, and as such appear more reactive than proactive. From the authors' exploratory studies it has emerged that this is an area where fear and confusion (resulting from a moral panic) have tended to replace a response that is primarily concerned with the caring needs of children. The authors regard this as an area that can no longer be left to chance and suggest that future policy should be informed by research that takes account of the complexities as discussed throughout.

Do touch: physical contact and people who have severe, profound and multiple learning difficulties

Dave Hewett PhD. is well known within the education and care fields for his invaluable work on communication with both children and adults who have severe and profound learning difficulties (with or without autism). However, because his work until recent times has tended to occur within more segregated services, he is only now becoming known to staff working in mainstream education as the children with more severe learning and communication difficulties are beginning to receive inclusive schooling. In this article he shares his thoughts, backed up with research, on the importance of touch for us all, but focusing on the reasons this needs special attention for those who have profound additional disabilities. Before concluding, the author offers us some very useful tools when working with children where touch and intensive interaction may be part of a teaching programme to help in building a relationship, and opening early communication channels.
