Thought Field Therapy (TFT) is a fringe psychological treatment developed by an American psychologist, Roger Callahan. Its proponents say that it can heal a variety of mental and physical ailments through specialized "tapping" with the fingers at meridian points on the upper body and hands.

Foremost among these is the ancient Chinese philosophy of chi, which is thought to be the 'life force' that flows throughout the body".
