Features: "Communication between people can be conveyed through touch. It is the most effective way to build relationships and the foundation of all experience." TD people, or tactile dependents, refer to those who are highly sensitive to touch—touch helps them the most. Unfortunately, our culture is "don't touch," "please don't point fingers," and people often have a negative attitude toward touch, even tactile language. For tactile dependents, this means they constantly encounter awkward interactions and inexplicable rejections in daily life. Now, from the best-selling book by communication expert Dr. Suthep Thaitoon Elgin, you can get help anytime. Dr. Elgin explains in the book how to identify whether you or others are tactile dependents and uses real-life scenarios to address various typical issues—including family, school, and the office. The book offers many suggestions and practical methods to help you improve interpersonal relationships, including specific issues related to intimate relationships.
