This article is a qualitative review of EMDR treatment for persons with PTSD.

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR): Treatment for combat-related post-traumatic stress disorder (Journal of Traumatic Stress)

Thirty-five veterans with combat-related PTSD were treated with either EMDR, biofeedback-assisted relaxation, or routine clinical care.

Fifteen-month follow-up of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder and psychological trauma (Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology)

15-month follow-up of the effects of EMDR therapy on the functioning of 66 participants, 32 were diagnosed with PTSD prior to treatment.

The psychobiology of traumatic memory: Clinical implications of neuroimaging studies (Annals of the New York Academy of Science)

The emerging body of knowledge from neuroimaging studies has prompted a focus on how extreme emotional arousal leads to a failure of the central nervous system to synthesize interpretation of incoming sensory information. Areas of the brain implicated are the amygdala, hippocampus, corpus callosum, anterior cingulate, and prefrontal cortex.

Eye movement desensitisation: Past research, complexities, and future directions (Australian Psychologist)

This paper reviews the present state of knowledge (1996 publication) about the efficacy of EMDR therapy as a treatment, and identifies basic problems with much of the research.

Emotional processing during eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy of Vietnam veterans with chronic post-traumatic stress disorder (Comprehensive Psychiatry)

Results suggest that eye movements do not play a significant role in processing of traumatic information in EMDR.
