for the dying; and complementary skills such as relaxation techniques,
communication skills, and self-care. 183 pages.

Compassionate Touch: Hands-On Caregiving for the Elderly, the Ill and the Dying
Compassionate Touch: Hands-On Caregiving for the Elderly, the Ill and the Dying by Dawn Nelson Compassionate Touch® is a unique "how-to" book whose aim is to address
the often unmet need of the aged, the ill, and the dying for intimate,
nurturing contact. Compassionate Touch®, as defined by Dawn Nelson, is a
gentle, sensitive, and non-intrusive program of massage, touch therapy,
and comfort care, supported by such helping skills as active listening,
reflective communication, intuitive feedback, guided relaxation, and
breathing awareness. Compassionate Touch® aims to ease both physical and
emotional pain, in a way that medication and medical procedures simply
cannot. Written with great clarity and sensitivity, this is an ideal
book for massage therapists and bodyworkers looking to expand their
skills, an essential reference for all caregivers and family members,
and a seminal text for all reference collections for those concerned
with the subject of hostel care for the terminally ill. 160 pages
