Re: EMDR and the Evidence

Brian- Responses to your posts will probably be more to the point if you define a few terms first. What is CBT? What differentiates it from other therapies? Can you name some of the therapies that could not be identified as 'CBT variants'?

By verbal reports, I assume you mean client's self assessments of their own distress, expressed verbally and on standardized symptom scales. By objective measures I assume you mean clinician's ratings of observable behavior or physiological measures?

By "more controlled", do you mean compared to a more active control condition or do you mean investigated in a study with a better design? Can I have an example of a study you consider adequately controlled?

What do you mean by nonspecific effects? It's a term which has been used in various ways in the past and I'd like to be sure we're talking about the same thing when we discuss this.
