A number of research studies have shown EMDR to be effective. For example, the Journal of Consulting and clinical Psychology, published an article by Wilson, Becker and Tinker in December, 1995; a study of 80 subjects with post-traumatic stress, demonstrated that clients improved significantly with EMDR treatment.  A follow-up study showed that improvement was maintained for at least fifteen months.  The findings from this and other studies clearly indicate that EMDR is effective and that results are lasting.  Further references pertaining to research on EMDR may be obtained from the following Internet address:
