Reiki and Therapeutic Touch - What's the Difference?

Here's an article addressing this question. From what I can tell, a nurse observed a Reiki session, took all the spirituality out of it, decided anyone can do it without receiving attunements, and assumed they could "direct" energy whereas Reiki "allows" it. I personally am frustrated that, because this was done by a nurse, the medical industry is inclined to trust Therapeutic Touch more than Reiki.
But maybe I didn't read it carefully enough. if after reading this article, you come away with a different impression, I'd love to hear about it!
