Energy Psychology: Explorations at the Interface of Energy, Cognition, Behavior, and Health traces the roots of energy psychology, contrasts it with contemporary approaches, explores the interface with cognition and behavior, and provides instruction in treatment applications. The author, a noted psychologist and psychotherapist with over 28 years of clinical experience, who has presented nationwide seminars and written extensively on Thought Field Therapy (TFT), begins with an overview of current psychological paradigms. He investigates the body's energy paradigm, focusing on the relevance of acupuncture, homeopathy, prayer, and applied kinesiology to energy therapy. Energy Psychology: Explorations at the Interface of Energy, Cognition, Behavior, and Health explores psychological problems as manifestations of energy disruptions or energy configurations that can be precisely diagnosed and treated.

Written in a clear, concise fashion by a superb clinician this is a book destined to become a classic that will be the bridge into the healing modalities of the future.

"This is an exceptionally well written book which provides a superb overview of energy psychology and how it can be applied to anxiety disorders and traumas. Even though Thought Field Therapy has yet to be empirically validated, I find this intervention to be intriguing and full of promise as a potential technique to adjunct conventional treatments."
