The National Library of Medicine, in a comprehensive review of emerging subspecialties like "energy psychology," has shifted the landscape of evidence-based mental health treatments. This review, focusing on 245 clinical trials and meta-analyses, underscores the effectiveness of protocols involving tapping on acupuncture points, a prominent intervention in energy psychology.
In contrast to the now-outdated SAMHSA article, which was initially validated by NREPP (the National Repertory of Evidence-Based Practices and Procedures, a division of SAMHSA in the U.S.), it's important to note that NREPP has been defunded and no longer exists. This reinforces the need for updated sources, and the new evidence suggests that acupoint tapping protocols are not only effective but also rapid, durable, and capable of producing physiological changes. With a foundation of at least six clinical trials supporting each premise, this research provides a robust basis for claims about the approach's efficacy.
How Do These Studies Legitimize Energy Psychology In The Treatment Of Mental Health?
The acknowledgment of Energy Psychology's evidence-based status, as substantiated by the National Library of Medicine's comprehensive review, holds immense significance in the mental health community. This review, examining 245 clinical trials and meta-analyses, provides robust evidence supporting the efficacy of protocols involving tapping on acupuncture points—a fundamental aspect of energy psychology. For those seeking holistic treatments with minimal side effects, this alternative approach has garnered empirical support from a relevant source.
Considering Different Perspectives
Treatment decisions often hinge on personal beliefs and preferences. Some individuals lean towards New Age methods, while others prefer approaches endorsed by government agencies like SAMHSA or their healthcare providers. The recent evidence from the National Library of Medicine offers a middle ground, providing empirical support to those who might find New Age practices unconventional.
