Energy Psychology: Efficacy, Speed, Mechanisms

---

Energy psychology, as most commonly practiced, combines cognitive and exposure techniques
with the stimulation of prescribed acupuncture points (acupoints) by tapping on them. Most
clinicians who learn and utilize acupoint tapping protocols integrate them within their existing
clinical frameworks rather than using the method as a stand-alone therapy. The approach has
been highly controversial, with its efficacy, purported speed, and explanatory models all
questioned. Nonetheless, its utilization within clinical settings and as a self-help method has
continued to expand since it was introduced more than three decades ago. This paper reviews the
most salient criticisms of the method and presents research and empirically based theoretical
constructs that address them. More than 100 peer-reviewed outcome studies—51 of which are
randomized controlled trials—provide an evidential base for evaluating the claims and criticisms
surrounding the approach. This review concludes that a growing body of evidence supports
claims that energy psychology protocols are rapid and effective in producing beneficial outcomes
in the treatment of anxiety, depression, PTSD, and possibly other conditions. Mechanisms by
which acupoint tapping might bring about these treatment outcomes are also proposed.
