A Note to Researchers

Note:  For a quality summary of research in the Energy Psychology field (in which EFT is the most prolific method used), please read this article by David Feinstein, PhD.

This Gold Standard EFT Tutorial offers several advantages to those interested in EFT Research:

• It is backwards compatible. Many peer reviewed EFT studies have been completed and some of these studies were based on a longer form EFT protocol that was popular prior to this Tutorial.  This Tutorial has divided that protocol into easy to use parts but, overall, there is no substantive change in it.  One need only put the parts back together to arrive at the original protocol used in previous research.  Thus all research using the previous protocol is still valid even though that protocol reflects "Old EFT."  Future research, however, should be based on the more streamlined protocols advanced in this Tutorial.
  
  
• It is easy to follow and clearly standardized.  Everyone throughout the world has instant access to it through the internet.  This facilitates discussion and replication efforts. 
  
  
• Fidelity is easier.  Previously, practitioners were trained via a wide variety of EFT versions, thus making true fidelity to the EFT process difficult to come by.  Now, through this Gold Standard EFT Tutorial, practitioners can have identical training and thus can deliver a more uniform approach to research subjects,
  
  
• More robust results are possible if you focus your research on the Specific Events underlying the subjects' issues.
  
  

Those practitioners who have been evaluated by a consistent set of standards will provide even stronger fidelity to the Gold Standard EFT protocol, and you can find a developing list of such practitioners at http://www.emofree.com/practitioners.html

We are available for consultation on research projects to evaluate practitioners and help ensure fidelity to the method.  Contact us
