Based on the notion of a subtle vital force which is presumed to be the source of health, many ancient healing techniques have been evolved within this paradigm, including the modern American variant called Therapeutic Touch (TT). This article reviews the history and underlying theory behind TT, and examines some of the recently developed and recently researched clinical applications. Particular emphasis is given to several important aspects of research into TT research that highlight the methodological challenges of research into energy healing, as well as the politicized atmosphere within which CAM is being assessed today.

We also describe the development and psychometric properties (ie, validity and reliability) of the Jefferson Scale of Physician Empathy (JSPE), a brief research tool (20 Likert-type items) that we developed as a response to a need for an operational measure of physician empathy. We outline an agenda for future research on physician empathy.
