These six points frame the designers’ intentions regarding the relationship between the program and its user, and they specify important disclaimers:

1. Energy Psychology Interactive is based on the premise that those who apply the methods it teaches will do so in contexts appropriate to their level of clinical training, experience, and licensing. Also please see Ethical Considerations.
    

2. The program systematically develops in the user a knowledge base and a set of skills for bringing an energy perspective to the treatment of psychological problems. It provides you with concepts, formulas, and techniques. To use a musical analogy, mastering them is like mastering the notes of a scale. In the hands of a seasoned practitioner, the formulas and techniques fall away into the moment-by-moment inspiration of a jazz player who excels at improvisation.
    

3. Face-to-face training, personal therapy that utilizes an energy-based approach, and supervised clinical experience will help you advance the skills offered by this program into their seasoned application.
    

4. While rooted in a 5,000-year-old tradition, energy psychology as such is a relatively new field of practice. The treatments presented in this program are still considered "experimental." Research on their effectiveness is underway, successful clinical outcomes have been reported by a wide range of practitioners, and a handful of preliminary scientific investigations appear promising. The efficacy of these methods, however, has not yet been established through a body of published, replicated, peer-reviewed studies.
    

5. The material in this program is intended as a training resource for psychotherapists and other professionals in the healing arts. It is not a substitute for psychological treatment.
    

6. While many clinical reports describe successful treatments using energy psychology with multiple-trauma patients, borderline personality, and other serious psychiatric disorders, these uses are often adjuncts to more established treatment approaches. Energy-oriented interventions should be used with serious mental disorders only by clinicians already trained and experienced in working with these disorders.
