I've lauded EFT before - and will go on doing so because it offers so much to people who either don't want to start or don't know how to stop taking medication, or have tired - if not bored - by turning up at the same time on the same day of the week to sit in the same chair looking at the same wall or window, as they tell the same story to the same person, sometimes for years, weeping the same tears, kept timid by the same fears, running the same old, same old patterns, messing up in the same old way (even though the people they mess up with may be different!)

The
Wells, et al. study has been scientifically corroborated in a follow-up
study conducted at Queens College in New York by Drs Harvey Baker and Linda
Siegel. Their study, which compared EFT treatment to a no-treatment control
as well as a non-directive counselling condition for treatment of small
animal phobias, produced results that almost directly paralleled the results
achieved in our study.
Psychologists Wendy Waite and Mark D. Holder (2003) from the Department of
Psychology, Okanagan University College in Canada, found that a single
application of EFT produced significant reductions in self-reported fear in
a university cohort. They argued that EFT works because it shares some of
the same components as systematic desensitization.
Psychologists Sharon Jones and Dr Henry B Andrews from Curtin University
(Jones and Andrews, 2001) studied EFT treatment (vs. waiting list control)
of public speaking anxiety in treatment sessions of 45-minutes conducted by
psychologists in the University counselling center. The authors found
significant improvements in self-report (Spielberger STAI) and subjective
levels of anxiety for EFT treatment. In tracking the results of EFT
treatment throughout the session, they found that subjective anxiety was
significantly reduced after just 15 minutes of EFT treatment and continued
to reduce throughout the treatment session.
Dr. Paul Swingle and
his colleagues (Swingle, Pulos & Swingle, 2000), studied the effects of EFT
on auto accident victims suffering from post traumatic stress disorder.
These researchers found that three months after they had learned EFT (in two
sessions) these auto accident victims showed significant positive changes in
their brain waves and in self-reported symptoms of stress.
In another study, Dr. Swingle used
EFT as a treatment for children diagnosed with epilepsy. The children were
administered EFT by their parents every time each day that the parents
suspected a seizure might occur. Swingle found significant reductions in
seizure frequency among these very young children, as well as extensive
clinical improvement in the children's E. E. G. readings after exposure to
two weeks of daily in-home EFT treatment.

conducted by Dr. Andrade and his team revealed that subjects with
generalized anxiety whose acupuncture points were stimulated tended to be
distinguished by a general pattern of wave normalization throughout the
brain, which not only persisted at 12-month follow-up, but also became more
pronounced. Details of this research and a sampling of brain scan images
from this research can be found in Energy Psychology Interactive and online
