Product Review
This is the clearest and most comprehensive introduction to the field of energy psychology written by one of the major contributors to this field. It is extremely well written and locates energy psychology clearly within the fields of science and psychotherapy. It is a must read for anyone interested in this new and exciting approach to psychology and psychotherapy.

This is the second edition of a book that literally started the field of energy psychology. Retaining the critical foundational elements of the first edition, the updates help the reader see how far the field has come in only five years. This is a must-read textbook for the practitioner inside and outside the field.

While there are many approaches that attempt to help people change, energy psychology is among the most efficient and thorough. With this second edition of Energy Psychology, Dr. Fred Gallo significantly and delightfully expands his earlier work. Of enormous value to those of us who are passionate about positive change and personal power, here is an in depth guide to understanding, research, techniques, and more.

Drawing on more than 35 years of clinical experience, the author investigates the body's energy patterns, focusing on the relevance of acupuncture, homeopathy, prayer, and applied kinesiology to energy therapy. This new edition features expanded sections on scientific underpinnings, clinical research, manual muscle testing, and related energy psychology approaches.
Reader Reviews
This review is from: Energy Psychology (Hardcover)
I muston a previous review as it contains incorrect information which may dissuade people from reading this book. In his review of March 26, 2000 "A Reader" writes "Read Swenson, Skeptical Inquirer, 1999, Vol 7, No. 4 for a review of this quackery." There is no Vol 7, No. 4 1999 issue of Skeptical Inquirer magazine that I can find on the csicop.org website. There is a online article from the July/August 2000 issue by Gaudiano and Herbert that I found that covers a superficial review of TFT. This is a standard academic "review" of the literature and complains that no scientific study has been done to date. I'm not surprised at the lack of study. More like lack of open mindedness. I have seen TFT and other tapping work on people including people who were skeptical. It does NOT work on me for some unknown reason. I would encourage readers to read this book and other books on this subject and make up their own minds. This area needs more research not bad reviews by a person who did not read the book and is closed minded.
