Touch Therapy: Form and Consciousness is based on an old exploration into psychotherapy by Dr. Verner Ferlein. Dr. Ferlein surmised that touching various forms and textures in proscribed ways had a therapeutic effect on certain conditions. The entire project is fictional, but is based on scientific writing and modes of presentation employed in small natural history museums.
