WORK (SUPPORTIVE) This book provides an in-depth observation of Healing Touch’s founder and master teacher, Janet Mentgen. Classes are reviewed and teachings surrounding them are illustrated through story. It is a biographical narrative as the personal journey of the author is chronicled to demonstrate the process of unfolding and to provide an interpretative lens for the reader. Energetic Patterns: Healing Touch Case Studies, Vol. 1., Sharon Scandrett-Hibdon, PhD, RNC, FNP, CHTP/I; Cheryl Hardy, BA, CHTP/I; and Janet Mentgen, BSN, RN, HNC, CHTP/I Volume I shows energetic pattern trends across six conditions: breast cancer, back pain, HIV Aids, multiple scerolosis, high-risk pregnancy and primary care. Interventions by practitioners were evaluated for efficacy with each condition. The commitment of this project is to initially “map the field” so that energetic configurations can be verified by homogenous populations in more controlled studies. Ethical Principles Applied to Complementary Healing, Diane Wind Wardell, PhD, RNC, HNC, CHTP/I, and Joan Engebretson, DrPH, RN, HNC This study explores the ethical approaches and underlying principles in the expectations of three organizations espousing holistic healing and touch therapies (The American Holistic Nurses Association, Healing Touch International, Inc., and Reiki Touch). All groups gave attention to the constructs of non-maleficence, beneficence and autonomy, with a strong emphasis on virtue ethics. The shift in the expression of the principles of paternalism and client agency allowed the healers to employ the therapeutic effects of placebo, suggestion, optimism, hope, and surrender with the avoidance of noicebo effects. © Healing Touch International, Inc.
