Title: Snake Oil for the Psyche
Review: There is no evidence that Thought Field Therapy does what it claims. Don't take my word for it: look it up! Suggestion and placebo are powerful agents of healing, indeed. But, according to the American Psychological Association, TFT is an approach which "lacks a scientific basis." There have been no studies which prove its effectiveness.Granted, as a placebo, it works extremely well, in that it includes a highly ritualized series of exercises which makes extraordinary claims, which creates a high expectation and thus gives results. However, this cannot be seen as a trustworthy treatment for serious problems.Use good judgment, do your own research, and don't trust anecdotal evidence. Pseudoscience does not have a place in standardized treatment, period. People with severe psychological and emotional problems simply do not have time to waste with unverified nonsense with no empirical grounding.
