"I can't venture a long response now- but I'll say I am surprised to hear you criticize single-subject experimental designs No, what I am asserting is that you are making conclusions that cannot be drawn from the data. A one subject case report of brain activity change after a treatment that has been demonstrated to contain empirically supported components does not support Francine's pet theory of how EMDR works. "It seems - though I can hardly believe it -- that you take the view that trauma doesn't account for much, or that life events I have repeatedly stated that this is an incorrect characterization of what I believe.

Why you feel that you have to shout-down every dissenting opinion that anyone makes here is beyond me. This BB was not constructed to be free advertising for EMDR. I am simply calling for more open discussion of the facts, and less marketing tactics. warmest regards, Brian

with maladaptive learning outcomes don't account for much. You'd prefer to postulate a biological basis perhaps for most
mental disorders?"
personalizations, etc. Since conversation with you is futile, and your beliefs appear to be rigidly fixed, I conclude that my
time is better spent on efforts that can hope to accomplish good results --like administering EMDR for a good example."
