What reviewers have written about EvTFT:

*****
"Clearly written and well organized, with illustrations to identify acupressure points and muscle testing methods, ample case examples to clarify numerous problems appropriate for this rapidly effective therapy, an excellent index, and ample references for further perusal.” - Medical and Scientific Network

*****
“Diepold, Britt, and Bender have produced a remarkable addition to the emerging literature of energy psychology. In the first part of the book they introduce the reader to the importance of understanding paradigms as they apply to psychology, and how they must inevitably shift as knowledge accumulates. They then give a solid review of the basics of the meridian system of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the procedures of manual muscle testing to assess what is happening energetically in the body. They go on to describe the Touch and Breathe method of balancing meridians (which I have used with great success for several years)--an approach with which every practitioner of energy psychology will want to be familiar. They then present the most detailed explication of system disruption and treatment blocks that is available in the literature. They challenge the reader to understand and experiment with two additional forms of therapy localization (diagnosis)--contact-directed diagnosis using the therapist's own body, and thought-directed diagnosis. New ground is broken with the treatment approach for positive emotions which lead clients to be trapped in destructive compulsions, including addictive behaviors. This is really a break-through for a number of clinical conditions. Their section on supplemental and modified protocols is well-presented, especially the section on the treatment of dissociative disorders. By no means a cookbook, the authors stress and explain how Evolving Thought Field Therapy is integrated into the overall practice of psychotherapy, and 25 terrific case examples are presented which effectively elucidate their position. The final chapter, Epilogue, and Afterward (by William Tiller, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus, Stanford University) present challenging and thought-provoking theories as it becomes apparent that the authors are thinking deeply and profoundly about the underpinnings of this most powerful and effective therapy tool.

This is a book that will be appreciated the most by those practitioners who already have some experience with energy psychology and are hungry for refinements in technique, applicability to a greater range of clinical conditions, and deeper understandings of what is going on with this amazing technique.”
- Thomas Tudor, Ph.D.; Psychologist, Cherry Hill, NJ

*****
"In this brilliant synthesis of clinical yet scholarly work, the authors have extended Energy Psychology to yet greater dimensions that go beyond any other books in this area. This is a responsible and prodigious contribution with original ideas, practical applications, and the foremost theoretical clarification that finally makes sense. I highly recommend this landmark endeavor for both clinicians and individuals with a special interest in the subtle energy therapies." - Lee Pulos, Ph.D., ABPP, author of Beyond Hypnosis and Miracles and Other Realities

*****
"This book dares to attempt a scholarly theoretical treatment of the elusive, provocative, paradigm-shattering field of energy psychology. It is a noble beginning that will be referenced for years to come. And it is a clinical handbook, teaching the practice of Thought Field Therapy (TFT) while introducing significant innovations the authors call "Evolving TFT." - David Feinstein, Ph.D., author of five books in clinical psychology including Energy Psychology Interactive: Rapid Interventions for Lasting Change (2003, W. W. Norton), The Mythic Path, and Rituals for Living & Dying.

*****
"This is a useful handbook for practitioners of energy psychology and a good introduction to this new area for the uninitiated. More importantly, it can serve as a treatment manual for outcome studies of EvTFT that can lead to being an evidence-based approach to helping the suffering." - Charles R. Figley, Ph.D., Florida State University, Psychosocial Stress Research Program

*****
"This book is a wonderful resource. It advances, in clinically-dynamic ways, the applications and benefits of Thought Field Therapy. In the creative hands of Diepold, Britt, and Bender, this contribution to energy psychology adds a significant tool to trauma treatment. EvTFT has become a welcomed part of my treatment repertoire, and I recommend it - and the detailed description of its applications in this book - to all therapists who seek effective and non-traumatic approaches to offer their clients." - Nancy J. Napier, LMFT, author Getting Through the Day, Recreating Your Self, and Sacred Practices for Conscious Living
