Thought field therapy (TFT) is currently used for various psychiatric conditions but there is very little documented evidence of its efficacy across these disorders.  TFT uses energy-based forms of psychotherapy that are designed to diminish the symptoms of psychological distress by manipulating energy flows within the body.  This has been designated as a fringe theory because very few professionals believe psychopathology can be fixed by “tapping” meridian points on the body through acupuncture, amongst other things.  The attached journal compares the efficacy of TFT with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in patients suffering from agoraphobia.  No significant differences were found between both treatment approaches. This was the initial comparative, and empirically supported, study of CBT and TFT for any existent mental health disorder.
