Svetlana Masgutova, a psychology department dean at a Moscow university, answered the country’s call for first responders. After four grueling months, Dr. Masgutova discovered that reflex integration techniques developed in real-time helped move the children beyond survival. This tragic event inspired the formation of the MNRI® / Masgutova Method® of reflex integration, which is now accessible in forty countries.The Depth of Her Touch chronicles Dr. Masgutova’s uncompromising passion for healing suffering individuals, despite enduring her own tragedies. As documented through Dr. Masgutova’s recollections, the voices of select parents and professionals, and the writer’s own experience as the mother of a special needs child, The Depth of Her Touch captures what it feels like to experience the gift of Dr. Masgutova’s touch through her Masgutova Method.
