I do have some links, I am leaving for vacation in a bit, but I can get them to you if you like when I come back. Do you have access to an academic library, because most of those articles are new and either you have to pay for access as individual, or it is free if you are through an university.
Some of the studies are using MRI and CAT scans for the studies. Now since EMDR isn't just bilateral stimulation, it is combined with cognitive/behavioral therapy techniques, many that are used in traditional desen. therapy, but it seems the bi lateral stimulation, speeds the process up quite a bit.
The VA now accepts it has a very good therapy for PTSD. I have had it myself, and know of others who have, and it worked much easier and less painful as traditional desen. therapy. I know many therapists that beleived it was all crap until they saw it for themselves the results in front of them or had it done on themselves. I plan on getting certified in it when I am a T. Now you probably know like every other therapy, it isn't 100% for everyone or helps everyone. but it showing very favorable results especially after some of the recent natural disasters. It seems hocus pocus, but it really works well with a lot of people.
