Most of the usual options for ignoring research that doesn't support EMDR is thrwarted in this study. But you do do your best to defend EMDR in light of this study, Ricky, and for that you deserve a tip of the hat. The usuals here seem to be reluctant to jump into this one for good reason! But let's cut to the heart of your argument: Your only real defense here is that not all studies have reached these conclusions. But this is weak at best as you gloss over a very important point: not all studies are created equal. This is one of the most solid RCTs done to date, that has the advantange of including vocal EMDR proponents, and completely fails to support the "evidence" from less rigorous studies and those from folks who have a strong conflict of interest. For example, compare the methodology of this study to the ones that you co-authored that support EMDR and you will find a marked discrepancy. What many here seem to be bored of are the same old apologies for EMDR.
