Hi – some good news,

At last the research is catching up with those of us already using Thought Field Therapy and who know about its power.

The website: www.innersource.net/energy_psych/articles/ep_energy-trauma-treatment.htm will lead you to a very good academic article reviewing the results of energy psychology in disaster settings.  David Feinstein, Ph.D. does a very good job of pulling together the standards for evidence and presenting the case for using these techniques.  He includes the work of Carl Johnson, James McAninch, and the Trauma Relief Committee of the Association for Thought Field Therapy who worked with the El Shadai Orphanage in Rwanda, as well as many others.

In general, I agree with many of Dr. Feinstein’s conclusions, but not all of them.  I am still convinced that the Callahan Techniques Thought Field Therapy treatments are the most effective. I am also concerned by his discussion of Critical Incident Stress Management.  The following article by Jeff Mitchell provides an excellent review of these issues and the confusing terminology that is the source of much of the controversy in the field: www.icisf.org/articles/cism_research_summary.pdf

The next time someone asks about research you will find Dr. Feinstein’s article and references useful.  There are more good articles coming out soon.  I will keep you posted.

I hope to see you soon at one of the upcoming trainings!

Bob
