Power Therapies is a term coined by professor Charles Figley, Florida State University Traumatology Institute, to group several novel treatments of post traumatic stress. Described this way, due to the apparent ability of these methods to work so rapidly compared to other methods at the time, Figley aimed to identify the "active ingredients" of these therapies — EMDR, TFT, EFT, VK/D, and TIR.〔Figley, C. R. (1997, December). The active ingredients of the Power Therapies. Paper presented at the Conference for the Integrative and Innovative Use of EMDR, TFT, EFT, Advanced NLP, and TIR, Lakewood, CO.〕 ==Examples== Examples of such treatments (in alphabetical order) are: * Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), a psychotherapeutic tool based on the idea that negative emotions are caused by disturbances in the body's energy field and that tapping on the meridians while thinking of a negative emotion alters the body's energy field, restoring it to "balance." * Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an information processing psychotherapy that was developed to resolve symptoms resulting from distressing memories.〔Shapiro, F. (2001) Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Second Edition: Basic Principles, Protocols, and Procedures. The Guilford Press; 2 edition.〕 * Thought Field Therapy, an alternative treatment developed by an American psychologist, Roger Callahan, Ph.D. Its proponents say that it can heal of a variety of mental and physical ailments through specialized "tapping" with the fingers at meridian points on the upper body and hands.(TFT; Callahan, 1995; Gallo, 1995) * Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR; Gerbode, 1985, 1995), is a form of psychotherapy in which a technique is used to assist a patient suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder by re-living the experience in a controlled environment. * Visual–Kinesthetic Dissociation (V/KD), adapted from a visualization technique developed by John Grinder and Richard Bandler, the co-founders of Neuro-linguistic programming, V/KD "involves temporarily induced dissociation from the negative feelings associated with traumatic memory through visual review of the traumatic event(s) from a different perspective"〔Michael Lamport Commons (2000) (The Power Therapies: A proposed mechanism for their action and suggestions for future empirical validation ) Vol.VI,2,5〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Power therapies」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
