Abstract
The website of the International Journal of Haptonomy and Haptotherapy (IJHH) lists thirty-two papers (IJHH, 2013-2023), including various case descriptions, a review, some vision articles and several research articles. The research papers report the use of more than twenty different validated questionnaires, such as the Haptotherapeutic Well-being Scale (HWS) (Klabbers & Hagg, 2021; Klabbers & Vingerhoets, 2022) and the Four-Dimensional Symptoms Questionnaire (4DSQ) (Terluin, Marwijk, Adèr, et al., 2006). Anamnesis, however, is only mentioned once in one article – without any further explanation (Klabbers, Wijma, Paarlberg, Emons & Vingerhoets, 2014). Nevertheless, the anamnesis is an essential part of haptotherapy. With this letter to the editors of the IJHH, I would like to draw attention to the anamnesis in haptotherapy and call on colleagues to write and publish about it. A plea is also made for the use of the SCEBS model, which is explained below, and for extending this model with some specific questions regarding affectivity.
