Therapeutic
Touch (TT) (Krieger-Kunz model) is a consciously directed process of energy exchange
derived from several ancient healing practices that intentionally uses the hands to
facilitate healing. Started in the early 70Ős by Dolores Krieger, Ph.D., R.N. at New York
University, TT continues to be taught in the Master's level Nursing program at NYU and in
more than 100 U.S. universities and in 75 countries abroad.
Therapeutic Touch is currently
gaining much recognition for its broad applications in health care. Doctoral dissertations
and extensive research have documented its effectiveness in a variety of conditions: to
reduce anxiety, for many medical and surgical illnesses, pain management, wound and burn
healing and caring for the dying. Integration with nursing, medicine, mental health care,
and massage therapy will be emphasized.
OBJECTIVES
1. Identify basic assumptions and
framework central to Therapeutic Touch.
2. Discuss basic nursing research regarding the effectiveness of TT.
3. Apply the phases of the TT process during supervised practice sessions at the basic
level of competence.
4. Discuss indications and considerations for implementing TT in various clinical
practices.

Guided Imagery
The Power of Imagination to
Improve Health & Well-Being
Imagery is one of the most ancient healing methods known in
history dating back hundreds of years to various cultures. In Grecian times, Hippocrates,
The father of medicine, spoke of imagination's central role in health and illness. Albert
Einstein stated that imagination is more important than knowledge. In recent times, cancer
researchers and motivational psychologists have utilized cellular and physiological
imagery to aid recovery in medical conditions.
With the recent growth in
awareness of the mind/body/spirit connection, Guided Imagery is again being utilized, as a
means of helping others in their quest for healing. Guided Imagery involves us in our own
healing by creating positive experiences of relaxation, a key to tapping our own healing
abilities. A sense of control over one's life has been identified as an important means of
improving one's health. Guided Imagery enhances this potential leading to greater insight,
sensitivity and wholeness. Many health conditions have been identified as benefiting from
regular Guided Imagery, helping people attain greater health and happiness. Come learn
this powerful technique!
OBJECTIVES:
1. Explore the history of
Guided Imagery, current medical usages, and how and why it works.
2. Learn various forms of Guided
Imagery, relaxation, and visualization to increase therapeutic presence
and the healing interaction.
3. Perform Guided Imagery methods
under the supervision of an advanced practitioner.
4. Identify benefits of
incorporating Guided Imagery into clinical practice related to specific conditions.
