Rosen, Lohr, McNally and Herbert’s (1998) arguments directed at the so-called “Power Therapies” and, in particular, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) are examined. It is suggested that their paper does not adequately review the available research data and, therefore, draws unwarranted conclusions. Based on published controlled studies it is concluded that there is evidence to support the use of EMDR in the treatment of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).


Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) reviews current knowledge and controversies of PTSD. The history, nosology, epidemiology, pathophysiology, risk factors, diagnosis, and treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder are described in detail. Also covered are the evidence-based treatments for PTSD, including all psychopharmacological agents (such as antidepressants and antipsychotics) as well as individual psychotherapies. The book delves into a vast array of cases involving at-risk groups such as minorities and offers a closer look at the coverage of PTSD across the world. The authors present state-of-the-art findings in genetics, epigenetics, neurotransmitter function, and brain imaging to provide the most current and thorough review of this burgeoning field.
