Thought Field Therapy Is Proven Efficacious: Why the Critics Are Wrong About TFT
- By Steven Barger, Independent Scholar
This paper is in response to the October 2001 Journal of Clinical Psychology (JCLP) issue, devoted to the topic of Thought Field Therapy. After reading all the articles, I felt it necessary to respond in detail to objections I had to the critics' articles including: numerous critical reasoning errors, misunderstandings of the actual claims for TFT, several straw-man arguments, a false a priori assumption, arguments from false premises, and citing of references that, when checked, are found to not at all support the specific point being made, by the critic. One critic even cites an article he co-authored that actually contradicts the point he's making, and instead supports a significant point made by TFT proponents! Read the article |

The Association for Thought Field Therapy
The Association for Thought Field Therapy Foundation is a non-profit membership organization whose volunteers provide psychological help to people traumatized by wars, natural disasters, genocide and poverty. The group’s Trauma Relief Teams, including psychologists, counsellors, doctors, and social workers, are trained in the Callahan Technique of Thought Field Therapy (TFT). They have assisted trauma victims in many parts of the world, including New Orleans and Mississippi in the aftermath of the Hurricane Katrina disaster; Tabasco and Chiapas , Mexico , after major flooding there; and in Kosovo, the Congo , and Rwanda to treat genocide survivors.
Caroline Sakai, PhD., a psychologist and TFT practitioner, based in Hawaii, headed a team of therapists who worked with children in an orphanage in Kigali, Rwanda. The children survived the Rwandan genocide in 1994, in which 800,000 to 1 million people were slaughtered during the course of 100 days. Dr Sakai was interviewed by Michiko Ishikawa for Share International. Read more: Tapping away the world's trauma |

Phobias
Testimonial – Mrs. Rena Diamond, Cooloongup, WA
“I had a terrible fear of dentists – very terrible. I would avoid anything to do with dentists. Chris helped me with TFT in a very short time. We first dealt with the trauma I experienced at the dentist when I was 5 – he slapped me because I was crying. I tapped in various places – I felt a bit foolish – but I couldn’t believe after the first time when I was asked to think back about the trauma – I didn’t want to believe it, because I couldn’t believe after all these years that I didn’t feel as frightened.
I was taken through it a few times and it just went – don’t ask me how because I could never explain it. My family is totally astounded.
This was debilitating all through my life. The treatment took less than 10 minutes – I’m still astonished by it. It was totally gone – I couldn’t believe it! It’s a wonderful feeling. When I went to the dentist I had 4 fillings and the dentist was totally amazed after I told her about this – she couldn’t believe how calm I was. I didn’t have a problem at all.
I feel so happy and proud of myself. I have tried so hard to make myself frightened because I honestly couldn’t believe that I could walk into that dentist office all on my own. I felt so calm. I still feel quite amazed. I don’t feel any fear – nothing.
And it is still like this 6 years later.” |
