Therapeutic Touch Daniel C. Maguire Beatrice HungerlandIn the mid 1970s a new type of therapy called 'therapeutic touch'(TT) was introduced into the practice of nursing. Its proponents claimed that an energy field surrounding the body could be manipulated by skilled practitioners to produce healing effects for a wide variety of illnesses. Despite the fact that there were no reliable controlled studies of TT, some nursing journals and nursing schools uncritically embraced this new direction in therapy.
