A group of clinicians trained at the diagnostic and voice technology levels of Callahan techniques = Thought Field Therapy, have formed a non-profit corporation called The Global Institute of Thought Field Therapy= GITFT

Their aim is to bring psychological relief to communities traumatized by the power of nature and the weakness of mankind. This will be achieved through direct treatment of victims and skills training for local helpers using the procedures discovered and developed by Dr Roger Callahan.

The founders of the global institute are: 

Ian Graham,England, Yoshinori Takasaki,Japan, Mats Uldal,Norway, Kokwang Lim,Singapore and

Carl Johnson,USA. Roger Callahan serves as chairman Emeritus of the board

Last week I returned from my trip to Kosovo, our work there is nearly finished, and I am entirely Satisfied and very grateful. I have learned so much about how to proceed, with the help of my assistant Here I will put together the treatment data with analysis, to serve as documentation of GITFT success here.

In 4 visits 85 trauma victims, and a total of 210 traumas were treated, with self-reported total

Soothing by 84 patients and 209 traumas in allSS, I have follow-up on about 2/3 of these people, with none Yet on the folks treated this last trip. There was perhaps one return of problem, but I think this was an Additional issue- I will check with that person on my next, final visit, for the follow-up was provided by The individual’s physician. No funding was ever received of any significance.

On the last visit the 2 medical officers at the American an embassy worked with me, and they are hoping To find funding for a large project. We went into some village, which had been deceived by the Serbs into Trusting them not to do harm, but instead they were eventually herded into buildings and gunned down In masses. 3 men survived, having been short and in the rear of the group, covered by the dead bodies of the

Friends and brothers who were blasted back on them, and they survived in the same as the buildings With the bodies were burned. Those who were spared were tortured. After such horrific deceit and murder, for them to trust enough to invite one of the GITFT to spend the night in a family’s home-this was such a gift for them to bestow. I have to say it’s almost impossible to go to a place like this with the idea of doing “naked TFT”I mean that TFT is the absolute essential, necessary, of course, but there is so much else going on into the preparation, the rapport, the respect for and support of indigenous healing methods, etc, None over there is having almost any success with trauma, including doctors without borders.
