SomAffect’s Francis McGlone to speak at Body Psychotherapy conference on touch – 9th July 2022

BEING IN TOUCH: COMMUNICATING THROUGH TOUCH IN PSYCHOTHERAPY

A ONE DAY CONFERENCE ON SATURDAY 9th JULY 2022 9.30 a.m. – 5.00 p.m.
AT KING’S COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY

Organised by Cambridge Body Psychotherapy Centre

This one-day conference aims to bring together body psychotherapists, psychotherapists from
other modalities and neuroscientists to exchange ideas and dialogue with each other. Much
remains unknown about touching therapeutically. What, for example, is happening from a
neuroscientific perspective, when we touch in a particular way. Why is one form of touch more
effective for some sorts of clients than others, why might touch be the first form of help for a
particular client?
