Dr Eric Leskowitz gifts us with this highly readable article published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine.
He discusses the evolution of conventional medicine as it has gradually shifted over the past 40 years to include previously ‘revolutionary’ concepts like nutrition, exercise, mindfulness, Yoga and now Energy Psychology (EFT in particular).
He provides both an interesting historical perspective as well as reasons why the conventional paradigm has such trouble with expansion.
The article is available from the below website until May 21st. As a community, we can help to heighten awareness of Energy Psychology and EFT and let the Journal know just how widely used it is. Perhaps even seeing more articles on this topic in future issues. Visit the link below. Every click speaks volumes! The more interest, the more publications in this Journal and more awareness brought out into the world. Share with your colleagues too!

Excerpt:
EP is so widely used that lack of fast-track consideration by
institutional gatekeepers is puzzling. For example, an online
training guide has been downloaded over 2 million times, email
rosters of two EP-oriented organizations (Innersource, and
EFTUniverse) have over 800,000 subscribers, a web-based
conference (the World Tapping Summit) has averaged 500,000
viewers annually over the past 10 years, and EP’s professional
organization (the Association for Comprehensive Energy
Psychology [ACEP]) has 1300 members, primarily graduate degreed
clinicians (www.energypsych.org). In addition, over
100 published studies—including 48 randomized controlled
trials (RCTs), 5 systematic reviews, and 4 meta-analyses—
consistently show statistically significant clinical benefits to
patients suffering a wide range of ailments, including posttraumatic
stress disorder (PTSD) and chronic pain. Yet, the
latest government guidelines for PTSD treatment released by
SAMHSA (the federal government’s Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services Administration) does not even mention
EP, despite its widespread use and increasingly solid research
base. So the question must be asked—why not?
