Description:
Subtle Touch is the name of a body psychotherapy method based on the Jungian theory and a series of bodywork techniques developed by Pethö Sandor. The first Subtle Touch technique created by Sandor in 1947 in Europe was named Calatonia. It consists in a series of nine touches to the feet, soles of the feet, heels, and calves. Usually performed in about 25 - 30 minutes, Calatonia is the most popular of the Subtle Touch techniques. Sandor said that Calatonia "cleansed" the body and psyche, providing to the therapist an overall insight about the patient's conditions. The Subtle Touch method has been used in Brazil since 1950.
