"Emotional Freedom Technique"
You moved the page, saying "Basically, this article is totally biased against Emotional Freedom Technique and is not worthy of an encyclopedia. Rewrite it or name it appropriately."

I moved it back.

If you think the page needs extensive rewriting (or retitling), please argue your point lucidly and persuasively at Talk:Emotional Freedom Technique. Thank you. -- Hoary (talk) 09:27, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi Theralsportzguy, I agree with you that the article is a bit biased against EFT, but please try not to violate Wikipedia's policies by renaming the article. I have worked hard to get the bias out of the article and write it in a more neutral point of view, I however wasn't very successful in doing this, because 1) More scientific research is needed ( a lot of studies are on their way ), 2) I need to propose a few minor changes to the Wikipedia Policies on the way we present scientific studies. Thanks. The Waite & Holder study presented in the article, which for some editors determines the neutrality of the article, because it seems very true to them. This study was however found to be seriously flawed. (Theoretical and Methodological Problems in Research on Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and Other Meridian Based Therapies, Baker, Psychology Journal, 2009, Vol.6, No.2 pp. 34-46) If you want a copy of the study just ask me for it, I would be very happy to provide it to you.
