Male and Female Counselor and Client Perceptions of Four Levels of Counselor Touch.

Suiter, Robert L.; Goodyear, Rodney K.

Journal of Counseling Psychology, v32 n4 p645-48 Oct 1985

Counselors and clients evaluated a videotaped vignette of a counselor-client interaction with one of four counselor touch conditions depicted: no touch, touch of client's hand, touch of client's shoulder, semi-embrace. The counselor in the semi-embrace condition was perceived as less trustworthy than those in any other condition. (Author/MCF)
