Abstract
This chapter begins with a review of the theoretical basis for using peer massage in the classroom. Reference is made to the early work of John Bowlby (1956) and Abraham Maslow (1943) as well as recent ideas about the importance of schools' nurturing pupils' social and emotional development. The second part of the chapter describes how peer massage works in the classroom and school setting. Finally, there is a review of several studies which have evaluated the impact of peer massage and a suggestion that further, more in-depth evaluation is needed.
