So I read this article and here are their results: "Sixty-six patients were analyzed as completers (31 EMDR vs. 35 CBT). No significant difference between the two groups was found either at the end of the interventions (71% EMDR vs. 48.7% CBT) or at the 6-month follow-up (54.8% EMDR vs. 42.9% CBT). A RM-ANOVA on BDI-II scores showed similar reductions over time in both groups [*F*(6,59) = 22.501, *p* < 0.001] and a significant interaction effect between time and group [*F*(6,59) = 3.357, *p* = 0.006], with lower BDI-II scores in the EMDR group at T1 [mean difference = –7.309 (95% CI [–12.811, –1.806]), *p =* 0.010]. The RM-ANOVA on secondary outcome measures showed similar improvement over time in both groups [*F*(14,51) = 8.202, *p* < 0.001], with no significant differences between groups [*F*(614,51) = 0.642, *p* = 0.817]. "
And I would conclude: well the, USE CBT! It is more efficient and cheaper and easier to use since you don't have to ADD a useless add-on to CBT. But NO!!!!!!!!!! here is their conclusion: "this study suggests that EMDR could be a viable and effective treatment for reducing depressive symptoms and improving the quality of life of patients with recurrent depression. Trial registration: ISRCTN09958202. " WHAT AM I MISSING HERE? I had a WTF moment here. Sorry if I'm being dense at 6 am. Since tipsters are smart people perhaps you can enlighten me. https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2018.00074/full?utm_source=F-AAE&utm_medium=EMLF&utm_campaign=MRK_547424_69_Psycho_20180220_arts_A Annette Kujawski Taylor, Ph.D. Professor, Psychological Sciences University of San Diego 5998 Alcala Park San Diego, CA 921210 tay...@sandiego.edu --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: arch...@mail-archive.com.
