{"product_id":"9781935387886","title":"To Touch Is To live: The Need for Genuine Affection in an Impersonal World","description":"For babies to develop normally, they must be touched. Adults, too, thrive when touch is a normal part of their each day: a reassuring handshake, a sympathetic hug, a healing massage. But how often do we permit ourselves or others these simple forms of contact: physical touch, our emotional presence, spiritual communion? We need to get more in touch--closer to who we really are as a species, and in ways that support our highest human potential. Touching can be communication, friendship, kindness, service, or love for God. Topics include: * The highest human need * The roots of violence and abuse. * Acquisitions: a substitute for touch * Healing through touch. * A healthy model of sexuality. * Touch as a context for our lives. Foreword by Ashley Montagu.","brand":"Hohm Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47151540240624,"sku":"9781935387886","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781935387886_p0.jpg?v=1763656579","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781935387886","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
