Student Researchers

I trust this journal will be of interest to any students critically reviewing EMDR evidence. McInally makes some valid points, the most valid for me being the criticism of aggressive marketing and commercialism of EMDR. Be aware of this at EMDR.com fellow students.

Abstract
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is among the fastest growing interventions in the annals of psychotherapy. Although many psychologists have commented on its presumably unusual origins and dissemination, history reveals its many parallels with Mesmerism, a previous therapy that spread rapidly throughout 18th century Europe and America. The purpose of this article is to document the many striking similarities between the history of Mesmerism and the history of EMDR. EMDR and Mesmerism: A Comparative Historical Analysis
