Hapnotomy is the science of affectivity and touch; it reaches to the core of what it means to be human. Touch, the first sense, carrying the freight of intention, emotion and thought, is the stuff from which a baby builds a basic sense of safety, trust, and confidence. Haptonomy is especially pertinent to how mothers and fathers relate to babies in the womb and how obstetricians relate to babies at birth.
