Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in 1992.

The article presents the author's response to a commentary on his paper about the use of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) technique in treating patients with post-traumatic stress disorder in the U.S. She argues that the ineffectiveness of the EMDR technique experienced by her critic during the workshop she conducted was due to lack of training of the participants. She acknowledges that she failed to consider the number of therapist variables that should be taught before demonstrating the technique.
