Re:General comment and comment on Point #1

So how about some data? How about the Maxfield & Hyer study showing that studies with better treatment adherence showed better outcomes? That's a start, right?

Then let's look at the studies in which there were problems with treatment fidelity, despite having been through the trainings (e.g. Jensen; Pitman et al).

There is at least some data to back up Sandra's assertions based on her personal experience. Most or all who provide EMDR supervision will echo Sandra's experience, that doing EMDR well takes training, supervision, and practice. In fact, I have been arguing for expanding the curriculum for standard EMDR training, I don't think the existing training is adequate.

While every step we take will never be exhaustively researched, I think there is adequate data for asserting that EMDR is not easy to master, and that we are likely to prefer therapists (for research as well as practice) who are well-trained.
