A common variation on Telepathy is to have it related to skin on skin contact, the psychic may have to put their hands on the subject's head or something. Or it may be a form of Power Incontinence and they automatically read the mind of anyone they touch. Particularly popular for adding a little Rule of Cool to what would otherwise just be a character just doing the Pstandard Psychic Pstance, especially in cases where telepathy is being used aggressively. It also provides a convenient way to prevent acts of telepathy which might ruin the story. If the local telepath wants to learn somebody's secrets but that person always manages to stay out of arm's reach, then the secrets won't be revealed. Also common when performing Mental Fusion. Subtrope of Psychic Link. Psychometry is a Sister Trope that allows someone to read the history of objects (and occasionally people) by touching them. |

In Unbreakable David he has the ability to read evil intentions and/or actions in a person via physical contact, but because David is in denial about his powers he always explained it to himself as mundane intuition and never followed up on it. Elijah eventually confirms that David's "intuition" is extremely accurate, to the point of describing the look and design of a concealed gun. At the climax of the film David begins accepting the truth about his abilities and discovers that his bouts of intuition have been right all along. | |

Sleepless Domain: Vedika, as the magical girl Mindful Eye, has a limited form of telepathy that allows her to send and receive simple thoughts over long distances. However, she has mentioned that her powers get "super duper weird and trippy" when she touches someone while transformed, and she does her best to avoid it when possible. When she does, she forms a temporary Psychic Link with the other person, allowing them to experience each other's thoughts directly while they remain in contact. | |

In Star Trek: Enterprise, it's revealed that such practice has long been forbidden, partly due to the chance of contracting the psychic version of an STD. T'Pol nearly loses her position when it's discovered that she has the disease, which can only be passed on via a mind meld. She refuses to testify that she was Mind Raped by a rogue Vulcan, which would clear her of all charges, as she's protesting the very notion that mind melds are wrong. It's later revealed that said "disease" is actually just the result of a mind meld being done incorrectly and can be fixed by undergoing a second meld with someone who knows what they're doing. | |

Dangerverse: Those who have sworn the Guardian's Oath and share a first-degree blood relation (parent/child or sibling/sibling) can communicate telepathically with skin-to-skin contact. Also a variant with the Pack-pendants, which allow any number of people wearing the same pendant chain to communicate telepathically. (The chains can also grow and shrink as needed, so this is rather more practical than you'd think). |

Played with in The Sookie Stackhouse Mysteries (and by extension True Blood). Sookie doesn't need to touch people to read their thoughts, but physical contact makes it much easier for her to do so. There are certain people and supernatural beings that are far harder for her to "read" than normal, and she has to touch them in order to get something more than their general emotional state. Two telepaths touching can also amplify their powers - Sookie and Barry use their super sense to find victims in the rubble of the Pyramid of Gizeh hotel. | |

Two examples in The Night Unfurls: Chapter 8 reveals that Kyril can do this via wrapping his tendrils around one's head. An efficient ability that saves a lot of time that would've been used for interrogations, but he refrains from using it whenever other people are nearby. Shamuhaza is able to sift through the minds of his beast-like scouts in order to know the good guys' plans. |

In Star Trek: Discovery, as a child, Michael was seriously hurt in a terrorist attack on her school on Vulcan. In fact, she was dead for 3 minutes. Her adoptive father Sarek used a mind meld to bring her back to life (she called the procedure a "katra graft"). Now Michael has a piece of Sarek's katra (Vulcan soul) inside her, which allows him to contact her remotely, although it takes a toll on him. When Sarek is the one, who's hurt, he unconsciously reaches out to her across light years. She has Paul Stamets build an amplifier to allow her to mind meld with him remotely in order to get him to wake up and activate his crippled ship's beacon. | |

Supernatural: Castiel can do this, depending on how well his powers work and the situation. Sometimes it's painful for the subject, such as in Season 6 where he causes a child agony by reading his mind for the identity of a rogue angel. Other times, it seems easy for him, such as him being aware of a prostitute's daddy issues, which is Played for Laughs and upsets the young woman. The difficulty seems to depend on how deeply the memory is embedded in the person. |

In A Swiftly Tilting Planet, this process is known as "kything". Interestingly, it doesn't work by touching the other person; rather, Meg touches a friendly dog (which ran into the family's home seemingly out of nowhere) and is able to see/communicate with Charles Wallace as he journeys across time and space. Also, it's implied that only people who either have natural Psychic Powers (such as Charles) or share a strong bond of love (Meg/Charles and Meg/Calvin) can kythe. | |

Used several times in The Adventures of Luther Arkwright and its followup Heart of Empire by Bryan Talbot. Mind reading is done by touching hand to head, but it appears that it's more of a data dump than reading surface thoughts (though it is implied that another psychic can control the contents of the dump). However, it is possible to implant thoughts without touching. | |

There are other species that can do this as well. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine has Letheans, whose telepathy is harmful to other species. Dahar Master Kor gets mind-probed by one and falls unconscious as a result. Another Lethean weaponized his telepathy against Doctor Bashir. Bashir got better, but he was one of the lucky ones.

In Star Trek, Vulcan telepathy works much better with physical contact, and it seems to be required for a full-on Mind Meld. Spock touches the heads of the listed people in the following episodes while doing a Mind Meld with them. "Dagger of the Mind". Simon van Gelder, to find out what deviltry is going on at Elba II. "The Devil in the Dark": The Horta in order to communicate with it. In "Requiem For Methuselah": Kirk, in order to remove his memories of Rayna Kapek. "Spectre of the Gun". Kirk, McCoy, and Scotty, to convince them that the situation they're in isn't real (so the simulated bullets can't kill them). In "Mirror, Mirror", Evil!Spock does it with Dr. McCoy so he can find out what's going on. "I, Mudd". He tries it on Norman, but fails because Norman's a robot. In "The Paradise Syndrome" Spock does it to Kirk to restore his memory after he loses it in an accident. "The Return of The Archons". He tries to do it on McCoy but fails because of Landru's Mind Control. The current page image is from "Turnabout Intruder", the final episode of the series, and it reveals to him the "Freaky Friday" Flip involving Kirk and Janice Lester. Several other characters do it too: Miranda to Spock in "Is There In Truth No Beauty?", T'Pau to Spock in "Amok Time". There are at least two cases where Vulcan telepathy works without contact, but neither is a full mind-meld: In the TOS episode "A Taste of Armageddon", the Enterprise landing party is held prisoner in a small room. Spock mind-touches the guard outside through the wall to convince him the prisoners have escaped. In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Sarek", Sarek's failing mental control causes his emotions to leak out into the entire crew. His aide also does not need to touch him to help him keep control. There are other species that can do this as well. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine has Letheans, whose telepathy is harmful to other species. Dahar Master Kor gets mind-probed by one and falls unconscious as a result. Another Lethean weaponized his telepathy against Doctor Bashir. Bashir got better, but he was one of the lucky ones. Most victims of telepathic attacks by Letheans don't survive. In an episode of Star Trek: Voyager, Tuvok turns out to be a Manchurian Agent of a radical Maquis. He assaults and mind melds with the other former Maquis crewmembers in order to turn them into Manchurian Agents as well. In another episode, Vorik, in the middle of his "pon farr", tries to forcibly mind meld with B'Elanna. This leaves her feeling the effects of "pon farr". In Star Trek: Enterprise, it's revealed that such practice has long been forbidden, partly due to the chance of contracting the psychic version of an STD. T'Pol nearly loses her position when it's discovered that she has the disease, which can only be passed on via a mind meld. She refuses to testify that she was Mind Raped by a rogue Vulcan, which would clear her of all charges, as she's protesting the very notion that mind melds are wrong. It's later revealed that said "disease" is actually just the result of a mind meld being done incorrectly and can be fixed by undergoing a second meld with someone who knows what they're doing. In Star Trek: Discovery, as a child, Michael was seriously hurt in a terrorist attack on her school on Vulcan. In fact, she was dead for 3 minutes. Her adoptive father Sarek used a mind meld to bring her back to life (she called the procedure a "katra graft"). Now Michael has a piece of Sarek's katra (Vulcan soul) inside her, which allows him to contact her remotely, although it takes a toll on him. When Sarek is the one, who's hurt, he unconsciously reaches out to her across light years. She has Paul Stamets build an amplifier to allow her to mind meld with him remotely in order to get him to wake up and activate his crippled ship's beacon. |

Outsider: While Loroi telepathy works at range (and in fact their biggest military advantage is that they can use technology to boost it to interstellar distances), it works best with physical contact. This is one of the reasons that the Loroi generally avoid touching each other except in rather specific circumstances. The Loroi initially try to violently overcome Alex's strange resistance to telepathy by touching him. Later, after he has been accepted as an ally and an ambassador, Beryl asks permission and touches his forehead to try again. While sitting in his lap. | |

In the twelfth century portion of the Deryni timeline, King Kelson Haldane and his mentor Duke Alaric Morgan spread the idea that Deryni can only read someone's mind if they are touching the person. While this is not strictly true (touch is helpful but not needed), they promulgate this notion to ease the fears of the ordinary humans in the population. | |

Eric Draven from The Crow develops this power few after he gets psychometry, and uses it to GREAT effect in the end, completely wrecking the Big Bad Top Dollar by forcibly giving him the memories of the last 30 hours of his The Lost Lenore Shelly's life (since his orders were responsible for Shelly getting raped and beaten to death, and Eric himself being gunned down). Top Dollar, who while evil is quite alive and mostly sane, proves to be unable to stand "thirty hours of pain," all in one shot... | |

Sunset Shimmer gains this ability during My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Legend of Everfree. It lets her see inside a person's memories as they relate to their current thoughts and attitudes. This ability lets her see that Gloriosa Daisy is stressed about selling the camp to Filthy Rich, and is trying to use magic to save it. In My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Forgotten Friendship she uses it to first read Applejack's mind to find out everyone's good memories of herself have been erased and then on the villain herself to confirm her suspicions. | |

Doctor Who: This is one of the Time Lords' abilities — they can perform something like a mind meld by touching another person's temples. As shown by Madame de Pompadour, it works both ways, and she is able to read the Tenth Doctor's mind while he's scanning hers, much to his surprise. "The Lodger" shows the Doctor can relay a ton of information at once in the form of a forehead-on-forehead headbutt. Because it's extremely painful for him, he swears never to do it again. |

In Child of the Storm, it's used even by powerful psychics for greater precision or to bypass defences. In the first chapter of the sequel, Ghosts of the Past, Harry does this to Carol in a clear reference to "The Girl In The Fireplace" (see below). This doesn't add to the UST at all. Later on in Ghosts, he uses it to bypass the psychic defences of a powerful and clever Master Vampire whose cleverness did not quite extend to realising that he was in danger of this. Cue Mind Rape. |

Pakunoda's powers in Hunter × Hunter are more or less like this, with a side dish of Living Lie Detector. Basically, if this woman wants to extract info from a person and then tell her companions, she first gets the info with her psychometry, then infuses some magical bullets with her Nen and non-lethally shoots her teammates. When she does it despite Kurapica using his own Nen powers on her, she dies. | |

In Duke Vale's route of Villainous Nights, Duke is initially unable to hear Monarch's telepathic broadcasts the way the rest of the team can, which the other characters attribute to his closed-off emotional state. In the process of attempting to overcome this block, Duke and Monarch discover that physical contact (whether skin to skin or through clothing) makes it possible for him to hear her thoughts and vice versa. As the two grow closer Duke starts being able to hear Monarch's telepathy without contact, but touch still makes it easier (and more romantic). | |
