Dear Gregg,
I hope you are doing great!
I wanted to share this with you because I admire your work so much and you know so many folks who might be interested. We are editing a new book about haptics (therapeutic touch is the overarching theme) and thought you or your students might have something to share in a chapter? Here is the proposal web page: https://www.igi-global.com/publish/call-for-papers/call-details/5369
We are pretty open to theory – so TOK folks are welcome! Our publisher is pretty open too. Would you mind passing it along? Theoretical psychology doesn’t often get a chance to really express itself – Dr. Markey and I are hopeful this will be one of those opportunities… the main thing IGI looks for is credentials and a solid theory (ideally some evidence/observations too). I will be doing two chapters, but the other 13 will come from international contributions so I am hoping lots of folks will send in their proposals. I am working on remote wearable devices to haptically reinforce that someone is thinking about us – a kind of silent reminder that we matter to someone dear to us. Several young women have come to my attention who are afraid of being hugged, but need that sort of tactile reinforcer anyway – to know that somebody values them - a bit like Temple Grandin’s mechanical squeezing solution for clients with ASD… a little squeeze on the wrist after an outgoing cry (do I matter?) may be just the thing during this social distancing period…
Thanks Gregg! Hope you are doing well… please feel free to share!
