Abstract:
Comments on the article "The finger-wagging cure. Saturday Night,"
(2001) by C. Milstone. The article began with the presentation of the
harrowing story of a coal miner who developed symptoms of posttraumatic
stress after being badly injured and nearly killed in a construction
equipment accident. The man reported dramatic positive changes after
only a few sessions of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing
(EMDR) and testifies that the treatment "released the pain" of the
trauma. This is usually the point at which many previous articles on
EMDR would have presented one or two token skeptics and provided
additional anecdotal evidence to counter any of the criticisms. However, Milstone's article did not follow this common formula. Instead, she
chose to delve more deeply into the claims of EMDR proponents to contrast these claims with the research evidence. The article will likely be criticized by many EMDR proponents. Nevertheless, this article appears to be representative of a subtle shift hi the media coverage of EMDR that has been evident in recent years.

Abstract:
For skeptics, Wheeler points to the research. She indicates that more than 27 randomized clinical trials have shown EMDR to be effective for PTSD and adds that the American Psychiatric Association, the Veterans Administration Department of Defense (VA-DOD) and many other national and international practice guidelines have approved EMDR as a Level A treatment for this disorder. “A Kaiser Permanente study found that after six sessions, 100 percent with a single trauma and 77 percent with multiple trauma events no longer had PTSD,” she says. “This is a well researched treatment and compares favorably to other treatments for PTSD. It’s good to be skeptical, but people should read the research.”
