Summary
During the 1960s, various societal groups, not just the hippies, were influenced by the sexual revolution and sought freedom and new experiences. A study on nude psychotherapy at a California nudist resort is described, detailing the experiences and emotional encounters of the participants, including intense sessions involving emotional release and interpersonal bonding. Despite initial skepticism and moral concerns, the study's success leads to wider acceptance and recognition of nude psychotherapy as a legitimate form of therapy.
