Abstract

Aim

The effects of one 60-minute treatment with thought field therapy (TFT) on public speaking anxiety with 48 participants were studied.

Method

Participants were randomly assigned to treatment or delayed-treatment conditions and to one of 11 licensed therapists trained in TFT.

Results

Participants receiving TFT treatment showed decreases in public speaking anxiety and increases in positive measures related to anticipation of future public speaking experiences. Participants in the delayed-treatment condition showed no improvement while on a wait list, but after treatment showed similar effects on all measures.
