Re:EMDR and Quick CURE ?

Without seeing the particular ad/posting in question, I can't comment on this particular case.

In general, psychologists must be careful to not word things as guarantees. EMDR trainings specifically include this caution about not making guarantees or overreaching. What we CAN say, is that there is sufficient research to support its use for PTSD, and is approved as such by American Psychological Association and the International Society for the Study of Traumatic Stress. There are other applications with clinical/anecdotal support but without controlled research.

Anyone make bold guarantees is acting outside the guidelines of the EMDR Institute. It is not a panacea and doesn't work for everybody or everything.
