title: A reflection of a Therapeutic Touch experience: case study I.
abstract: The purpose of this case study was to explore the experiences of giving and receiving Therapeutic Touch. Attempts were made to capture the subjective qualities of the experience by providing a description of the Therapeutic Touch interaction that took place. The central theme of this study is the process of reflection-in-action. This process is shown to facilitate learning; it is an effective vehicle for expanding and developing the knowledge and skills of Therapeutic Touch. This case study provides valuable qualitative information on a Therapeutic Touch experience. It has been possible to analyse this information in a more critical way through reflective thinking.
