"Evaluation of a Meridian-Based Intervention, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), for Reducing Specific Phobias of Small Animals", by Steve Wells, Kathryn Polglase, Henry B. Andrews, Patricia Carrington, and A. Harvey Baker.
This study by Steve Wells, Kathryn Polglase, Dr. Henry B. Andrews, Patricia Carrington and Harvey A. Baker found EFT to effectively treat specific phobias in just a 30-minute treatment session, and the results were superior to an alternative deep breathing treatment. This was the first controlled scientific study into the effectiveness of EFT published in a peer-reviewed journal.
