What research is available regarding Emotional Freedom Technique?
I try to keep an open mind about complementary therapies and therefore would reserve judgement on them until i find good evidence for them one way or the other. I am myself an alternative therapist. However, i do find it very hard to accept that EFT could work. Therefore, i suppose i have two questions. Firstly, are there good quality quantitative studies available on EFT? Secondly, if they aren’t, what kind of protocol for research would EFT practitioners find acceptable?

Plenty of criticism:

(Note the above are 2009 studies that analyze previous studies).
But this book did it for me: “10-Day Money Makeover: Simple Steps to Create More Money & Financial Prosperity Using Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)” http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=Opsw4HhsITQC&dq=%22emotional+freedom+technique%22&lr=&source=gbs_navlinks_s
Stinks of pseudo-babble to me.
Edit: The asker did ask for “good quality quantitative studies” not scam websites and the usual anecdotal, second-hand nonsense that sucks most alties in.
