This paper examines important points for using TFT as their support tool from the following points of view: 1) The whole structure of the support system that surround handicapped children; 2) The understanding of developmen- tal disabilities and the appropriate application of TFT according to feature of the disability, 3) Guidelines to suspected cases of developmen- tal disabilities; 4) Applications for parents and support persons. Since support to handicapped children and their parents is similar to trauma work, this paper suggests that it is important to build up small support systems in the context of a comprehensive support system. ______

the fi ngers. This simple technique enables patients to be free from psychological and physical problems they have been suffering from for years (Callahan, 2001). I am an acu- puncturist and an industrial coun- selor. My own experience of depres- sive symptoms made me learn the techniques and knowledge of TFT. Also, when exploring holistic possi- bilities to help patients, I met TFT. I became interested in the application of meridian points and studied TFT by myself. I found that little literature of acupuncture referring to TFT was available, and I decided to learn this psychotherapy that acupunctur- ists can learn. Since patients with psychological problems in the background of physical symptoms come increasingly for treatment, I think it is signifi cantly important for acupunc- turists to learn TFT. I currently offer TFT to my students who have study problems at acupuncture school and also to my patients in practice after I learned the algorithms.

TFT is applied in a wide range from self-help of daily simple psychological stress to serious trauma caused by wars or disasters. Since TFT also may be applied in a group setting, it is used for humanitarian assistance. TFT has features including the following: the procedures are simple, the effect is prompt and high, and there are no side effects; thus, it may be useful not only for treatment, but also for prevention. The activities of TFT are worldwide and are being increasingly applied in areas especially where

The team did not have an appropriate assistance model to follow, and thus have developed new approaches to support the employees with success. There may be three main reasons for effective approaches. First, the Renaissance Corporation promptly and smooth- ly organized a mental support team, started to work on mental care for their employees, and encouraged cooperation of the regional professional parties. Second, TFT has the following advantages: TFT is highly and immediately effective, and it is safe without side effects. TFT may be applied as a self-help technique that enables the employees to practice it by themselves. The technique

I’ve spent the last 3 months looking for families who were rent- ing their basement or garage because I knew she couldn’t afford an apart- ment by herself. After months of looking, we found a farmhouse near me that had an affordable, full apart- ment in their basement. As I helped her with packing up, we worked on the emotions as they came up so that anger and depression didn’t get the best of her.
