AND TESTIMONIALS
RECEIVED BY DR. CALLAHAN
"After having worked with energy for a decade
I came across TFT and Roger Callahan. With TFT I have helped many people
to a better life and I am very excited about the opportunity to pass on
these extremely effective and easy methods through my teachings!!"
Henrik Lund, TFT dx - Denmark
/ U.S.A.
Dr. Roger Callahan and Henrik Lund
"What's
fascinating about TFT is it's quick, painless and its success rate
is almost unbelievable... anywhere from 80-97%... which is really
unheard of in the field of mental health in any type of treatment
over this whole century."
Shad Meshad,
President, National Veterans Foundation and Founder / Author of the
National Veterans Centre Programme, USA.
"If
it had been a horse race, which the investigators as well as the
innovators were all at pains to deny, the TFT contingent would have
won, hands down. Requiring virtually nothing in the way of
personal interaction, TFT can bypass all that tedious therapeutic
business of joining, empathy, history-taking, reprocessing and the
like, and zero in on the problem immediately at hand. With 10
minute treatments not at all unusual..."
Mary
Sykes Wylie PhD, Senior Editor, The Family Therapy Net worker
(Jul/Aug 1996), reporting on a comparative trial of therapies for
PTSD.
"TFT
is extraordinarily powerful, in that clients receive nearly
immediate relief from their suffering and the treatment appears to
be permanent... it does not require the client to talk about their
troubles, something that often causes more emotional pain and
discourages many from seeking treatment... it is extremely efficient
(fast and long lasting)."
Charles
Figley PhD, Professor and Director, Psychosocial Stress Research
Program and Clinical Laboratory, Florida State University.
"Here
we have patients and family members going through acute and chronic
medical, surgical and psychiatric problems. I am using
Callahan Techniques on a daily basis for rapid treatment of trauma
of various kinds. These rapid treatments are far superior to
traditional crisis intervention techniques in that the client /
patient receives amelioration of the problem in minutes rather than
days, weeks or months."
Dr.
M. Marie Green, Clinical Social Worker, McKay-Dee Hospital, Ogden,
Utah, USA.
"Dr.
Callahan's technique is one of the most revolutionary and helpful
therapy procedures I have ever come across."
Dr.
Gary Emery PhD, Co-author of "Anxiety Disorders and
Phobias"
"I
find it exceedingly rapid and applicable to a wide variety of
patients."
Dr.
Patricia Carrington, Adjunct Professor of Psychiatry, Rutgers
Medical School.
"It
is beyond amazing. I have never seen any treatment so
powerful."
Dr.
Martin Swartz, Research Associate Professor, New York University
Medical School.
"I
have received ongoing feedback from many of the doctors and
psychologists who have incorporated your techniques into their
practice, and comments like 'extraordinary success with the Callahan
Techniques in my most chronic, difficult-to-treat cases...' "
Dr.
Lee Pulos, President, Canadian Society of Clinical Hypnosis.
"Using
your technique I was able to help, in minutes, 10 nervous executives
speak... (in public) ...with no trace of their former fear."
Dr.
Christopher Hegarty, Renowned and Award-winning Speaker / Trainer.
"I
asked my problem patients to try your technique and in one week it
has proven 100% successful for those who have used it."
David
Kerchner, Hollywood Weight Loss Centre, Ellwood, Philadelphia, USA.
WHAT
DO PROFESSIONALS SAY ABOUT TFT?
"For any experienced
psychotherapist nothing can surpass Callahan Techniques TFT and most
of us who came in contact with it, being hypnotists, NLP'ers,
EMDR'ers, already knew what was efficient, and still our quest was
not satisfied. Now
that you know the basic tools of TFT you undoubtedly have verified
that you can treat a host of problems. But why stay there?
Learn the next step, "Causal Diagnosis”. Causal Diagnosis, as
you'll find and enjoy, is to TFT Level I and II what an "a la
carte menu" is to a set dinner or a tailored suit to an
industrial one. Learn it, from it you'll get pleasure and
elegance."
Dr.
Dimitri CROUCHEZ, MD, psy, TFTdx,
Paris, France
"…one
of the most effective and most powerful for quick clinical relief
and help…and the idea of psychological reversal is one of the
major discoveries in psychology?"
Gary
Emery, Ph.D., co-author, "Anxiety Disorders and Phobias: A
Cognitive Perspective."
"If
it had been a horse race, which the investigators as well as the
innovators were all at pains to deny, the TFT contingent would have
won, hands down. Requiring virtually nothing in the way of personal
interaction, TFT can bypass all that tedious therapeutic business of
joining, empathy, history taking, reprocessing and the like, and
zero in on the problem immediately at hand. With 10-minute
treatments not at all unusual…"

Sykes Wylie, Ph.D., Senior Editor, "The Family Therapy
Networker, July/Aug, 1996."
"What’s
fascinating about TFT is it’s quick, painless and it’s success
rate is almost unheard of in the field of mental health in any type
of treatment over this whole century."
Shad
Meshad, President, National Veterans Foundation & Founder and
Author of the "National Vet Center Program."
"TFT
causal diagnosis is the Dewey Decimal System of the human library of
healing data. Further, TFT causal diagnosis unlocks healing by
sourcing the code that engenders bad feeling."
Mark
Steinberg, PhD, TFTdx,VT
"I
have been trained in a traditional medical, psychiatric,
psychoanalytic and psychopharmacological model and I can state
clearly - If I had only one therapy to use it would be Callahan
Techniques® Thought Field Therapy. It's the best therapy in
history!"
Luanne
Ruona, MD, Director, Center for Holistic Therapy, Washington, DC and
Alexandria, VA
"For
25 years I have treated American war veterans suffering from
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. I have witnessed gallant efforts to
keep a job, be members of a family, overcome homelessness and resist
the temptation of suicide...I am very grateful to Dr. Callahan for
his discovery of Thought Field Therapy. For too long a time, my
patients and I have yearned for something like this. In my opinion,
this gentle action technique is easily the best approach to thorough
and enduring relief from this crippling psychological
disorder."
Carl
Johnson, PhD, Diplomate in Clinical Psychology, American Board of
Professional Psychology, Program for Homeless Veterans, Martinsburg,
West Virginia
RESEARCH
Thought
Field Therapy has been used in clinical settings to to successfully treat
a wide variety of psychological problems. Most research has been in
the area of first hand clinical observation and the personal reports
coming from therapists and clients have been impressive. One formal
investigation, conducted in early 1995, by Charles R. Figley, Ph.D.
and Joyce Carbonell, Ph.D. of the Psychological Stress Research
Program and Clinical Laboratory at Florida State University yielded
impressive results in the treatment of Post Traumatic Stress
Disorder. For this study, four new treatment approaches were
selected on the basis of previous merit. These methods were:
Traumatic Incident Reduction (TRI) Visual Kinesthetic Dissociation
(NLP) Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and
Thought Field Therapy ( TFT). Figley reports that: TFT stood out
from all other approaches of which I am aware because of five
reasons:
-
It
is extraordinarily powerful, in that clients receive nearly
immediate relief from their suffering and treatment appears to
be permanent.
-
It
can be taught to nearly anyone so that clients can not only
treat themselves, but treat others affected.
-
It
appears to do no harm.
-
It
does not require the client to talk about their troubles,
something that often causes more emotional pain and discourages
many from seeking treatment.
-
It
is extremely efficient (fast and long lasting).
In
1996, Dr. Joyce Carbonell of Florida State University did a double
blind study (as yet unpublished) using TFT and a placebo treatment
to treat fear of heights. Subjects were screened using the Cohen
Acrophobia Inventory and randomly assigned to two groups. Both the
TFT group and the placebo group received part of the TFT treatment,
however, the Placebo group tapped on non - TFT body points and the
TFT group tapped on TFT points. Neither the subjects nor the
therapists knew which was the TFT treatment and which was the
placebo treatment. There was a significant difference in improvement
in SUD scores and in scores on the Cohen Acrophobia Inventory
between the two treatment groups. Those subjects who were treated
with TFT had the greater average improvement.
JOURNAL
OF CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY
In
October 2001 The Journal of Clinical Psychology (Volume 57.
No. 10) published a special issue "Thought Field Therapy:
Initial Research. " This special issue contains 5 initial
pilot studies using Thought Field Therapy to treat a variety of
psychological problems. It also contains reviews of the research
methods and a "Response to Critics" by Dr. Roger Callahan.
Probably the most important research article published in this issue
of The Journal of Clinical Psychology is an article written
by Dr. Carl Johnson, et. al. "Soothing the Bad Moments of
Kosovo." The author reports that of 249 traumas treated in
Kosovo, 247 were treated successfully in a short period of time.
After several visits to Kosovo, Dr. Skkelzen Syla, The equivlent to
the surgeon general of Kosovo has made TFT the official therapy of Kosovo. A
copy of Dr. Syla's letter to Dr Roger Callahan thanking him for
Thought Field Therapy is posted below.
*Thought
Field Therapy (TFT) is a highly effective adjuvant and complementary
approach to medical and psychological health practices. Some TFT
work may require approval from a licensed physician or psychologist.
TFT is never intended to replace medical treatment or severe
psychological treatment. It can be regarded, by its emphasis on the
use of internal resources for therapy, as a non-medical therapy
which accomplishes its results without direct external intervention.
