The Healing Touch Guidebook; Practicing the Art and Science of Human Caring, by Dorothea Hover-Kramer, may be an opening, a beginning, for interested readers from all walks of life. It is intended to help expand and deepen understanding of the healing process in both newcomers and seasoned practitioners. No matter where you are in your own journey of discovery, this work is an invitation to widen your exploration of the many facets of Healing Touch and its conceptual framework with focus on theory, science, research, and actual practice.

The book is organized into four sections. The first section presents the essential background material, science, and research about energy therapies such as Healing Touch; the second part gives a summary of the major methods and concepts currently taught within the Healing Touch Program core curriculum in Levels One through Five; the third part demonstrates some of the many applications, both personal and professional, for Healing Touch concepts as they are currently practiced worldwide; and the final portion focuses on the ongoing personal and spiritual development of HT practitioners.
