Letters to the editor
An impossible task to have a page devoted to
correspondence with a journal that has not yet been produced?
Maybe, but in anticipation of this column we asked some friends to
comment on a draft of the first issue.
It could have been discouraging that the first response was extremely negative, but having devoted so much of this issue to the methodology of changing states, we have reframed this positively and are quoting this letter in the hope that it will encourage some spirited response from readers, either in support of the criticism or by a reasoned contradiction.

Dear
Joe. Thank
you for showing us the draft of your Nurturing Potential prototype
issue. We
have tried to read the “major theme” articles on Emotional Freedom
Technique with an open mind, but have to say that we view it with the
profoundest scepticism. Coming
from a “hard” scientific background, and having been reading the
scientific press since the early 1960s, we have never come across
anything of this kind that has stood up to analysis and review; on the
other hand, we have read many articles on how to discern pseudo-science,
and EFT fits the mould exactly. JE and GE
