Psychological trauma : theory, research, practice and policy

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is one of the therapy interventions recommended by the Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense Clinical Practice Guidelines. However, the literature concerning the effectiveness of this treatment modality in military service members is sparse. This study investigated the efficacy of EMDR in active-duty service members. ⋯ Randomized, controlled trials are still needed, but these findings provide further support for the use of EMDR in service members with PTSD.
