Massage for the seriously mentally ill.
1. Some seriously mentally ill clients have unfulfilled needs for safe touch. 2. Flashbacks or provocative behavior have not been triggered by the use of massage in a structured setting. 3. The blending psychiatric skills and therapeutic massage can be an effective stress reducer for inpatients or outpatients who seek safe touch.
