APA Division 12 (Clinical Psychology)
Task ForceFor a therapy to be considered a “well-established treatment”:I. Two strong studies by independent investigators demonstrating that the treatment is:A. Statistically superior to a pill, a placebo, or another treatment [or]B. Statistically equivalent to an already established treatment (Chambless & Hollon, 1996).
For a therapy to be considered a “probably efficacious treatment”:I. One strong study demonstrating that the treatment is:A. Statistically superior to a pill, a placebo, or another treatment [or]B. Statistically equivalent to an already established treatment. Or:II. Two strong studies showed the treatment to be statistically superior to a waiting list control group.

APA Journal “Review of General Psychology”
“A literature search identified 51 peer-reviewed papers that report or investigate clinical outcomes following the tapping of acupuncture points to address psychological issues. The 18 randomized controlled trials in this sample were critically evaluated for design quality, leading to the conclusion that they consistently demonstrated strong effect sizes and other positive statistical results that far exceed chance after relatively few treatment sessions.
Criteria for evidence-based treatments proposed by Division 12 of the American Psychological Association were also applied and found to be met for a number of conditions, including PTSD.” (Feinstein, 2012)

EFT Draws from:
Exposure Therapy
Cognitive Therapy
Acupuncture
… to reduce stress
The somatic component of EFT (tapping on acupoints) is critical; it enhances the exposure and cognitive components

Stress Affects Every Organ System
![Page 8: Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT): Research & Practice Dawson Church, Foundation for Epigenetic Medicine.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062301/5697c01f1a28abf838cd16b9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Stress is a component of:
PTSD
Anxiety
Depression
Pain
That is why so many conditions improve after EFT and other therapies that successfully reduce stress

We tap on acupoints unconsciously every
day
EFT simply organizes common tapping points into a routine that clients can easily remember.

"Significant improvements were found on all distress subscales and ratings of pain, emotional distress, and cravings at posttest (all p<.001). Gains were maintained at follow-up for most SA-45 scales. The severity of psychological symptoms was reduced (-45%, p<.001) as well as the breadth (-40%, p<.001), with significant gains maintained at follow-up. Greater subsequent EFT use correlated with a greater decrease in symptom severity at follow-up (p<.034, r=.199)"

Not Indicated For Easiest targets are phobias (1 session) and
PTSD (6 sessions). Hardest are addictions (mixed results), purely physiological conditions like tinnitus, and genetic diseases.
Best used in the context of a comprehensive treatment program rather than as a standalone treatment.
