The Male-to-Male Embrace: Breaking the Touch Taboo in a Men's Therapy Group.
Rabinowitz, Frederic E.
Journal of Counseling and Development, v69 n6 p574-76 Jul-Aug 1991
Describes a men's therapy group in which touch seems to facilitate self-disclosure and interpersonal communication. Claims despite cultural taboo for men to engage in physical touching, the act of embracing another man, in context of therapy group, does seem to encourage expression of deeper feelings and lessen the isolation men often feel in the competitive society.
