The final coda,
I share your healthy skepticism regarding this treatment modality. However, in being an evidence-based practitioner I have to recognize that simple lack of evidence does not necessarily mean that the treatment is worthless. I think if you look at the clinical psychology research on any given "standard" treatment approach...you will likely find...that there is is a lack of quality empirical support for these many of these treatments. There may not be clear indications (physiological or psychological changes changes) for this "treatment" but there may be some benefits that can be gained even if just a placebo effect.
