Recorded summary
EMDR reduced PTSD and anxiety relative to inactive comparators; the depression result was not statistically significant. Comparisons with CBT did not establish a clear advantage.
Recorded limitations
Small older evidence base, variable bias and populations, and substantial overlap with later reviews; not an additional set of independent trials.
Evidence and provenance
Chapter Trust Factor uses a minimum of three distinct qualifying studies. Publication records retain their own evidence and assessment.
