Praise for Touch Drawing

"Deborah Koff-Chapin has discovered a pearl of wisdom in simple touch. Here is a new language of Being that speaks directly from Existence rather than from Human Will. A quietly majestic series of perceptions that can move the soul from state to glorious state in a convergence of wisdom ... Quite an activity for families and schools "
The Bookreader


"Deborah Koff-Chapin is an angel of inspiration. Her simple and powerful Touch Drawing technique sparks imagination and great creativity. Her book, Drawing Out Your Soul: The Touch Drawing Handbook, is essential reading for therapists, teachers and all people who want to explore the synthesis of the psyche, art and intuition. Touch Drawing crafts a new language for articulating, exploring and celebrating the depth and breadth of the human soul."
Sandra Shaw Friedman, President Emirate
Association for Humanistic Psychology 


"The word "touch" is so apt here: Touching the visionary pulse of our lives, touching the many levels, the many dimensions of our being. A touch that awakens –a touch that opens doors. YES!"
Jack Welder, Director, Expressive Therapy Program
California Institute of Integral Studies


"The act of creating images, not just with a single brush or even a single finger, but with a complex gesture using our whole hands, pulls together the two most powerful and integrative parts of our anatomy: the cortex and the spine. Its not surprising that so many people find Touch Drawing a truly integrating, instructive, and healing experience."
Richard Warren, Professor
Massachusetts Institute of Technology


"Its a straight line to the unconscious. Artists who are used to running through inner censors were surprised by what they produced. Artists are the most difficult to work with in art therapy."
Emily Ramsey, Art Therapist


"Touch Drawing is easy, awesome and constantly surprising. When I use both hands directly on the paper, without implements, the images pour straight out of my soul in a way I can't predict."
Cat Saunders, PhD, Author, Dr. Cats Helping Handbook
