You don't have a valid criticism of the Taylor et al study that in any way undermines the conclusions. Notice that you are the only one jumping forward to try to argue otherwise. Ricky, strip away all the superfluous speculations about this and that and you are left with a solid RCT (the best to date IMO because it even has researcher allegience effects effectively ruled out) that demonstates that exposure is more effective than EMDR (which makes sense given the hypothesis that EMDR is exposure lite). The question of what is effective in EMDR is another issue entirely. Perhaps it is effective because of its exposure element, but not as effective as proper exposure because it is not done most effectively. Who knows, because we are wasting our time testing an ineffective treatment. Let me explain. My point was that it is time to do away with "EMDR" the business, and focus on what element(s) of these treatments are effective. Let me give you a hint to start off with...it ain't the eye movements. There is no reason, given the wealth of data we have now, to sink more money into horse race studies between CBT Form1 and CBT Form2.
